Why check the motor oil level in my Volvo V70?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your V70’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Volvo oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Volvo V70 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my Volvo V70 oil light comes on?

Does my V70's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

Volvo recommends having your 2008 Volvo V70’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your V70 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Volvo if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. 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.
