• First 'service' 11 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Just booked my Volvo XC90 in for it's first service, 3k or 3 month job. Turns out it's not a service as such, just a look over. I'm told the first time it gets a 'proper' service is 12k or a year. Is this the norm these days, and if so can it be good for a new engine to run 12k on the factory oil?
