I have just found this thread which may be the answer to a problem I have with my S80. I am a first time Volvo owner and not particularly technical and I don't understand a lot of what has been posted previously about various engines types, so I am hoping somebody can spell this out in layman's terms.
My car is a 2014 Diesel S80 with a D4 engine, it has covered 60K miles, it has a full Volvo Dealership service history, the cylinder head was rebuilt by my local dealer at 30K due to a problem with the valves sticking and since then it has been fine until June of this year when it said it needed half a litre of oil, the same thing happened again today. The car hasn't been driven hard so I am surprised it needed oil again so soon. I would like to know whether this problem gets worse over time or is it just a case that these engines need a top up every couple of months? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
