We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1999 V70’s oil should be changed according to Volvo’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Volvo-recommended oil change intervals, your V70 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Volvo V70. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
