Hi all, this is my new report for my old Volvo.

This Volvo 940 only run cold for 5 to 10 km trip. The biggest trip is 60 km twice a month... Red block B200F engine.

The oil is a tractor oil, Q8 T1000D, base group I (http://www.oils.am/home/242.html)

Filter is a MAN W917 (I posted its specs in Filter section some monthes ago http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/2991926/)

My wife killed the head gasket by running 200 km with a coolant leak (3 liters of coolant were gone) , and the car did the last 1000 km as is...

This is exemplary. The durability of this engine is remarkable. The oil grade/brand doesn't seem to matter as long as it meets the spec.
