What was your experience? Was your Volvo thirsty for oil??
Hmm, Citroen. I had a CX several years ago, I loved it, the shape of it, and and the unique solutions of it.
Best wishes and excellent consumption improvement for All!!!  |
Not very thirsty for oil, did not need to add if I kept oil change around 8000km, but that was the point where it started to use oil as well as more diesel, so I usually did try to change oils after 7500km. With oil changes between 10 000 it would be needed to add oil as that last 2000km took about a litre of it.
Turbo diesel, for example in 740 has bigger oil filter, which might be worth to get if price is close to same, I have heard that size in that actually matters.
