What kind of oil should I put in my Volvo 240?
The safest thing to put in any engine IMO is the ‘correct’ oil. I believe in the case of most Volvos, that will be 10w-30. if higher mileage, then go to 15w40. ( 200 000 km + ) the correct oil, at regular intervals ( 10 000 km or so ) will keep your engine happy. you will also then be happy.

When to change the oil in a Volvo?
The man at Autobarn gave u good advise. Flushing is a good idea if you know you have a sludgy engine. If your engine is in good condition and internally clean just change your oil when it’s hot. Synthetic oils as a rule keep things cleaner. Snoopy (@Ex850R) Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Melbourne.
What should I avoid in my Volvo 240?
If you suspect the engine has a bit of sludge buildup (look in the oil filler cap and see how clean everything looks) then the thing to avoid is oils with a lot of detergents in them, eg: diesel oils. Depending on how solid the sludge is, they can break it up and it can clog the oil pump pickup screen and cause a loss of oil pressure.

Their extra 10 or whatever it’s called is better again but I suspect not necessary in a stock NA engine 240. It’s doing a good job or wringing more life from the rangie, noticable improvement in cold start oil pressure. Vee_Que @Vee_Que South Eastern suburbs Melbourne.
