Oil change for '99 S70

Post by pcrowe »

Basic question but I'm having difficulty finding the answer: What is recommended motor oil grade for the S70? I just bought mine a few months ago (110K miles) and would like to change oil, filter regularly which I presume would be every 5K.

I just discovered this site and already has helped me with the master window switch repair. thanks so much!

a happy new owner in Southern California.
