Default Type of Oil for 940 Turbo Volvo 1994 (milage 338K )

What type of oil do I use for oil change ?

Is seafoam safe to use to clean the engine , where can I use it ?

Can I use Seafoam Transtune ?

Castrol GTX 10W-40.
Castrol USA - Castrol GTX

It's been doing well in my 940 T for nearly 20 years and 280,000 miles.

I would try some Techron Concentrate Plus in the fuel tank before you use Seafoam.

At 338k miles, I'd like to see a 20w-50 if you don't live somewhere that freezes. As for Seafoams etc, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I tend to be very cautious with additives in high mileage equipment that is running really well. Throw in a bottle of injector cleaner and call it done.
Just service it regularly and change fluids, don't put any additives in anything. If it leaks, repair it.
