Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your V70’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Volvo oil on my own?
