The Volvo V70 XC uses SAE 0W-30 synthetic oil and requires approximately 6.2 quarts to fully fill the oil reservoir including the amount in the filter. While Volvos are known for their reliability, they may become less efficient as they age, leading to increased oil consumption due to failing valve stem seals. Signs of this issue include blue smoke during acceleration or constant smoke while idling. If you notice excessive oil consumption between changes, it is recommended to address the valve stem seals promptly. It is advisable to change the oil every 7,000 miles or once a year, whichever occurs first.
