V50 to S60 CC; Yes, Oil… I Know
My lovely 07’ V50 with 195,000 miles needed to be turned in for parts. I had the classic sunroof drainage problem, the electrical system was on the fringe and among a number of other issues (happy to talk in more detail there, drove that car 130k miles myself and kept it up!) it had to go.
Due to a number of circumstances, my budget and time, I was lead to a clean title 2016 S60 CC. Yes, it’s the T5, inline 5 cylinder with a chassis number in the piston ring flaw group.
The car has 68,800 miles on it. It was garage kept and the car is clean as can be. It has not had any major work done, and the maintenance record is great (mostly Volvo dealerships).
I know, the piston ring issue can occur at any point. However, I really need to get 20,000 miles out of this car over the next 3-4 years. Is there anything I can do to reduce my chances of having something go majorly wrong? I’ve driven the car about 700 miles with no noticeable reduction in oil level. I’ve checked the tail pipes and no oil.
Thanks for any help!
