Well, most of you on here won't remember, but I actually got my girlfriend on here (Sweet!!) to ask what oil she should use for her car, which is a '96 Volvo 850 with the 2.4L engine. Has a 5spd. stick as well. Also has about approx. 120,000 miles on it. Consumption shouldn't be an issue.
When she left here, vehicle was actually on a diet of Mobil Delvac 1300 and Purolator Premium Plus...but was run on standard 5w-30/10w-30 for the first 100,000 miles or so of it's life on long change intervals, so it is quite dirty (no sludge though) inside.
Now, since I have a "passion" for the HDEO's, and she drives the heck out of her very nice car, so I figure it's a match made in heaven. She's also in Florida for awhile attending school, so super cold starts aren't an issue.
All 15w-40, of course:
- Chevron Delo 400
- Pennzoil Long-Life
- Mobil Delvac 1300
Does anyone here see any benefits to one of these oils in this application over another?
