High mileage and oil consumption Volvo V70R, i

Flash Green indeed! No Atacama, it's the dark blue "Nordkap" interior. Nordkap looks really nice too, I'm not unhappy, but Atacama is really something special.

Thanks!

Btw, one headlight wiper is oriented the wrong way on this pic but that has been fixed.

Oh thank god. My OCD was killing me.

Does HPL ship to Europe/Netherlands? Would switching to that possibly get rid of any other buildup issues that might be left or does that just happen and needs the mechanical cleaning at XX intervals?

I always loved the Volvo wagons.

I haven't read anyone having less build-up with a different type of oil, but it's difficult to test for, as it occurs over long periods of time / use. I think the biggest change is that a thicker oil vaporizes less, and thus reduces the total build-up, but perhaps some types of oil or additives wouldn't dry out as fast and thus flow better through the system.

As far as HPL goes, I can only select US, Canada and Mexico on the site. I tried finding a European supplier - which is difficult as the phrase "High performance lubricants" is an often used slogan - but there don't seem to be any.
