You have quite a long changeing program.
I will change every 6250miles, and im ny opinion even that is long when we compare it to what Volvo recommends, at they should be changed every 3125miles, what my cars previous owned wonderfully followed. But same here, i cant afford to change motor oils every 3k miles. Now in winter i use 5w-40 full synth, but when spring comes ill change them back to 10w-30 semi-synth truck oils, they are goodie. |

True it's more than Volvo recommends, but modern synthetics are so much better than what was available at the time that recommendation was written that it is mostly irrelevant. A D24T has an oil capacity of about 7 liters, which is a lot of oil, and you probably add a bit over the course of 10,000 miles as well. Add all that together and I don't think there is any way you could wear out a good synthetic oil in less than 10,000 miles -- probably even 10,000 is conservative, in fact. VW TDIs go over 10k on OCIs and they are much more highly-stressed engines.
Tom Bryant recommends oil changes at 25,000 miles. That's too much for me, but I think 10,000 or even 15,000 makes a lot of sense. It's also better for the environment -- less waste oil dumped down the drain.

He is in Europe, and judging by what fuel costs, I would bet synthetic oil over there is pricey. The engine holds amost two gallons of oil!

Which gallon are you using ? US or Imperial?
How many litres to 100km? 10 litres to 100km is about 28 GPM (imperial) or 22.4 mpg (US) Thanks, Steve |

Best 7,04 litre to 100km. On the hard drive something 8-10 litre to 100km.
