"temperatures stay withing freezing and 20° Celsius year round, coastal area, lots of small city driving, usually"

0W-30 or 0W-40 would be better year round for both cars.

I'd stick with 5W-40, 0W-40 is too thin from my experience, and 0W-20 is WRONG. The manual suggests 10W-40, 5W-40 is better for your temperatures.

Handbook will say 10W-30 in summer and 5W-30 for winter. 5W-40 is what I use for my 2000 V70R as that is what is specified in the handbook.

I have to say to love this one…

If you can't fix it, you don't own it.

Hey, that loud bang at every speed bump. I'd look at the top mount for the rear shock. Mine was doing the same thing and to my chagrin, I discovered that the mount had completely sheared. It was only a $40 part and less than an hours work to replace.

Replaced two vacuum hoses this time, but throttle response is still weak. Will die if clutch is released too quick. 🤔 Attempted to change the pollen filter. Ehm, no. 😅 Looks like this car has been breathing dirty air all it's life. No wonder the AC doesn't blow cold. The battery also lost all it's ...

IPD has a filter kit for that.

You can pull the frame from a V/S70 and fit it to a 850.
