Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2005Volvo engine oil 740 v70
I owned a Volvo 740 and used a standard W 10 40 natural oil. I now own a V70, I checked the oil today on the V70 and noticed it was down a little. I checked the V70 handbook which said that the oil was the same as used in the 740 so I topped the engine up. I now realise that maybe the car has synthetic oil and I have added natural oil, do I have a problem as I may have mixed synthetic with a standard natural oil. > I owned a Volvo 740 and used a standard W 10 40 natural oil. > I now own a V70, I checked the oil today on the V70 and noticed it was down [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > oil, do I have a problem as I may have mixed synthetic with a standard > natural oil. Synthetic and normal oil will mix just fine, it won't cause any problems. Phew that's a relief, thank you > > I owned a Volvo 740 and used a standard W 10 40 natural oil. > > I now own a V70, I checked the oil today on the V70 and noticed it was down [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Synthetic and normal oil will mix just fine, it won't cause any problems. > I owned a Volvo 740 and used a standard W 10 40 natural oil. > I now own a V70, I checked the oil today on the V70 and noticed it was down [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > oil, do I have a problem as I may have mixed synthetic with a standard > natural oil. No worries on that! The myth that there would be some harm mixing conventional and synthetic oils is just that, a myth. John
