Does anyone know how much oil a 98 V70R take for a full change?

When you say full, do you mean a drain of the oil cooler as well?

Just standard oil change - warm the engine, undo the plug, let it go till it stops.

5.8 litres for a normal change :)

Buy 2X 5 Litre 1st time round, then you have a top up bottle and you should only need buy 1 for the next few services..

Top tip if you are buying magnatec make sure you dont leave an opened one loose in the boot or you will end up with an oil stained boot carpet like mine, which is very noticable and annoying on light interiors :frown:

Hmmmmmm Magnatec spilled out in the boot....now doesn't that sound familiar!!!!

Glad I had the plastic boot liner as a litre bottle of oil would have made a bit of a mess.

Top tip indeed, good oil....pish bottles.

Happy Birthday mate! My Tip could have just saved you a boot carpet much more pricey than a drop of oil! :beer:
