My hero!! Keep it up.My neighbor noticed I was kind of struggling on my oil change. I'm quite elderly with some physical problems that slow me down a bit. The neighbor insisted that I allow him to do the change himself. I declined his offer and he offered to take the car to a dealer and pay for this himself. I finally convinced him that I do not give in to age and other problems and that I VERY MUCH desire to do this as long as I can. I've learned that doing it myself is really the only way I can be absolutely sure of what goes into my car. I want only the best and besides, I actually enjoy doing this myself and I'll do it as long as I can.
nice ride. The old man in me can't believe a 2004 qualifies as "classic vehicle" remembering clear as day when they were new.2004 Volvo S60, 115k

First oil and filter change since we purchased in November 2025. I plan to run HPL for 6k with filter changes and top offs every 2k. This is a one owner car that had 41 full synthetic oil changes in 112k. I suspect the engine is quite clean.
When the filters are clean I plan to run HPL Euro 0W-30 at 10k OCIs.

Yep, surely a plus when you pay taxes on a car
