Motul oil doesn't burn

I've been using Mobil 1 in my cars for 15-20 years, mostly purchased on sale at Costco. I've always considered it one of the top synthetic engine oils and wasn't going to spend more on other oils' fancy marketing. As past cars have gotten up in miles -- my '98 V70 T5 now has 252K on its block -- I w...

Re: Amplifier - How Volvo adds it

Some notes on installing the Volvo 9452029 amplifier in a 1998 V70. Easy job once you know about the hidden features and have the right parts. The carpet on the transmission tunnel pulled right out from under the various trim pieces and refit just as easily. As an audiophile, I can tell you that the...

1998 V70 aftermarket muffler options
