I had a ’87 740 GLE. I put over 400,000 miles on it. The ODO is in the small pic I have on my channel.
nice video i just got a 1988 volvo 740 ready to do a oil change
0w-40 for european cars
The owners manual has several weight options depending on the climate. I use full synthetic and I live in a hot climate. Yesterday the heat index was about 103 (dash read 108 at one point). So I use 10w-30 in the winter and 10w-40 in the summer.
I have read about a guy that was using 5w-30 and wore out his motor in 30,000 miles. That would be about a year for me. I sent an oil sample to BlackStone Labs and they were impressed with my sample results after 5,200 miles on the oil.
Thank you for the information on the oil change. I have a 1997 volvo850.. I notice you use 10 w 40. I saw somewhere else to use 5 w 30. That leaves me a bit confused
* transmission. I have manual gearbox, thank you.
What about the trasmission fluid change? I have the T5, has 260.000km, that’s 160.000 miles. Anyway, thank’s for posting.
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for posting.
Calvin and I agreed to swap fleece for a few months.
if your name is Robert why does your shirt say Calvin.?
I mean MAF…
MFA??
If you have a CEL, you need to have the codes read and find out what is GOING wrong. It will only get worse. The likely problem is a MAF but it’s best to check the codes to find out what is going wrong.
… and I also changed the cooler reserve tank. With that car I have traveled a few times from Auckland to Hamilton without any problems… the car has only 149.216 km… thanks
Hi, the car does not stop all the time, just sometimes when I’m stopped in front of the traffic light or when I reduce the speed (very slow speed) this does not happen very often, but it happens… when I bought the car it did not have one of the fuse, #3 (10A, overheating warning, catalytic converter, speed warning)… I put the fuse back on and sometimes the light started flashing for a few minutes and goes off. I’ve changed the fuel filter, I m using only 95 octane gasoline
Does it start right back up and run till the next stop? Do you have a CEL (Check Engine Light)?
Hi… a few months ago I bought a car and I did not even check it because I was in a hurry. The car is a volvo 850, 1995. Definetly is a fantastic car, big difference with my previus car… sudenly the car stopped specialy when I slow down, not always, but it happeneds… I changed the fuel filter, but I still got the same problem, by the way the car is fantastic. Any sugestions? thanks
Thanks! I’ve never tried the priming method so I’m anxious to give that a shot on both my Volvo’s tomorrow.
Thanks a lot bud. Really helpful! You did a good job showing the underside of the car with the camera. Keep them coming I’ll be sure to check your other stuff out as well
My car has 227,600 today. I put 2,500 miles on it since my last oil change a month ago. I plan to put 5,000 on it in the next 3 weeks. Just racking them up.
indeed, 1 in 2500 is not too bad for a wite block turbo! it equates to about 1 liter in 4000 km if I’m correct. what mileage is on it? filling up is a whole lot easier and cheaper than pulling a head and doing stem seals and seats. Nice to see you are dedicated to keeping these cars going!
No, I checked the oil when the car was on a level ground before I put it on ramps. I loose about 1 quart ever 2,500 miles which is fine with these turbo cars. A little oil gets by the old hard valve steem seals.
I like your video’s, very helpful. Did you check the oil level with the front wheels on the ramp? that would explain your lost quart of oil
Appreciate the video, keep them coming.
Awesome video, thanks a lot
