Hello everybody!!

I have to make an oil change on my 245. I didnt fix , but the guy who is going to sell me my new rack, who seems to know is way around 240 and volvo in general, told me that mineral oil could settle some of my oil leaks.

Is that true? Because it s a non-turbo diesel...or is it the still living myth V8 is talking about?

problem is I have to use the car to take a train very early in the morning, and I have no time to get some oil: a friend of mine gave me some 10W40 Motul, expensive oil (like more than three time the price of the mineral 15W40). Should i give my old 240 that very fine food? Or some cheap beverage will do better ? Thanks!
