Best oil etc.

Post by rhigga » Mon May 11, 2015 6:33 pm

Having just treated my wedge to a new stainless steel exhaust, I now wish to have a service.
Before I do, can anyone give me advice as to the best oil,filters,automatic fluid etc in this modern age
that would best suit my Turbo automatic with richmod on board......I just dont want the garage shoving anything in it...

Any advice would be greatfully appreciated... :D

Make sure you get an oil filter with a one way valve in it to stop oil draining out of it when the engine is off, Volvo filters have one, Halfords ones don't. I always use Castrol Magnatec 10W40 (2.0 N/A engine though)....
