Guys, I am under the gun. Yesterday, my wife tells me that she will now ALLOW me to change the oil in her C-60. So what do you guys reccommend? I don't have access to the owner's manual right now.
What I have in the stash, QS Q-torque 5w-20, Valvoline in 5w30 and 10w30, Formula Shell 10w-40, Castrol Tection 20w-50, and some assorted odds and ends of Havoline 5w-20, 30w, 5w30 and 10w-40.
It seems like she has finally listened to what I was telling her. She purchased the car 1-1/2 years ago, and promptly read the maint sched recommending a 10k mile OCI. I asked her a couple times about when she was either gettig the oil changed or wanted me to change the oil. She replied it didn't need one until 10k. As a BITOGer I told her way to long, she answered that's what the book said. I said the book is wrong, she said she would ask the guys down at the V-Shop. Low and behold, they told her 5k absolutely no more than 7.5k, just so happens that's what I told her. She is now planning to bring the car into the shop for the 10k changes, with me doing a 5k oil drain and refill.
Funny thing, she still ain't said I was right! Guess the earth may change rotation if she says that.
By the way the V-Shop is an auto shop specializing in Volvo automobiles, they do excellent work, but they are kinda high dime.
