Hello there,
My 1998 V70 2.5T has been sitting for a number of years. I would like to get it back on the road, but am worried about lack of oil around the pistons, etc, after this time and possible damage when I would try to start it.

Might anyone be able to advise me on the best approach to take?

Many thanks.
