Oil Change In a '98 S70 GLT
hi, i have a '98 volvo s70 glt with 148,xxx miles on it, and i heard someone said that Service light comes on every 5,000 miles. So my quastion is it better to change the oil every 5,000 miles when the Service light comes on, or every 3,000 miles??? Thanks Ahead!

I would agree, unless you drive mostly highway and usually longer than 10,000 per trip. Then 5,000 would be fine. Oh, also, I would replace the oil ever 6 months.
If you take short trips the oil is worn faster because it cools and heats more often. My wife use to drive 4 miles to work every day so I replaced her oil every 3,000.
I guess I should also add that I don't think you can replace your oil to often in a turbo car. So, 3,000 or 6 months whichever comes first would be great.

ok, thanks for the heads up guys! going to change my oil next thing tomorow! lol its been about 3,500 - 4,000 miles since my last change.
oh and while we are on a subject of oil change, is getting rid of that Service Light hard? or is it easier to just visit the dealer every 5,000 miles? (by the way its free where i live)
