Hello everyone and thank you for the great web forum (given the fact that this is my first post, I take the opportunity to thank the administrator and all the contributors and staff).
wadeo611, I have not done that to a Volvo yet, but to a Saturn and it feels great.
Even though I used her to tow another Saturn with a car trailer, and forced the transmission to a point where I smelled the burnt .
I thought I've damaged it since then, but it still behaves OK (after about 15 000 km.) and the oil has the right color and smell.
I would recommend synthetic oils everywhere oils are used (it has to be of course OK with the manufacturer's specs.).
