I have a 95 volvo 850 sedan 5 cyl 110,000miles live in 120 degree palm springs what oil is good, better,best?

#1. Check the secondary cable which runs to your starter.
#2. Check Starter Relay (unplug, and shake it - sometimes to can hear broken stuff inside of them)
#3. Make sure your cables are tight, and your battery has a good charge. (was it trickle charged ? jumping and then turning the car off will not be enough charge for the battery ; you must charge to 100%)
#4. Check all grounds.

Find a local glass shop. They give free estimates

1995 Volvo 850 Shows the firing order as 1-2-4-5-3
The picture below is an extract from that document. The distributor is rotating clockwise.

Clogged up PCV System ---maybe

Too much crank case pressure

Try to locate where it leaks from ,might be from oil pan or drain plug or transmission or fly wheel seal.

Put a cardboard under the car to locate the exact spot. Good luck

2.4liter inline 5 cylibnder

Its very very complicated - Ach! the french!!! ---- Stage 1 torque to 20nm ----------- Stage 2 - wait 3 minutes.---------- Stage 3 - fully slacken all bolts in sequence------- Stage 4 - torque to 20nm-------- Stage 5 - tighten by 97 degrees (plus or minus 2 degrees - so 95-99 degrees really)--------
Tightening sequence, with the flywheel on the right looking down on engine - top row of bolts are 1,2,3,4,5 -------- bottom row of bolts are 6,7,8,9,10 --------- sequence is, 8,3,4,9,7,2,5,10,6,1----

I Would Suggest That You Complete A Engine Cylinder Leak Down Test.....(not A Compression Test But A Leak Down Test) this will tell you if you have internal problems....possible worn rings or a burnt valve(s) I would use a smoke machine to check for vacuum leaks also. Good Luck

It's on the engine, right next to the starter, it has one wire going to it. You don't need to drain the oil. If the light is coming on, you may have bad seals in the oil pan, a fairly common problem, but replacing the switch is a good fisrt step.

the only correct info is at volvo web site ,pay the 3 days and read the info,/or give us more info on pipe leaking,if its a turbo car pass side?is oil lines that leak/drivers side trans cooler lines? what type,color fluid?
