Good morning all!
A friend of mine recently bought a 2001 Volvo V70 2.4L turbo for his wife - it has just under 100k miles on it. It's driven spiritedly.
Generally, I'd recomend Wal-Mart SuperTech Synthetic to him and be done with it - he's not interested in extended OCI's and won't go past 3k/4k. For the price and a 3k OCI, I don't think you can beat it without a BOGO or sale.
But then, I got to thinking about the turbo. With a turbo, should he be looking for a Group IV/V oil instead of a Group III synthetic like SuperTech Synthetic? Turbos are pricey to overhaul/replace.
Thanks for the input!
thanks much,
ben
