To change the oil in an '89 Chevy Cheyenne, start by warming up the engine for a few minutes to help the oil drain more easily. Then, lift the vehicle securely and place a drain pan under the oil pan, removing the oil drain plug with a wrench to let the old oil flow out completely. Replace the oil filter using an oil filter wrench, applying a bit of new oil to the rubber gasket of the new filter before installation. Finally, replace the drain plug, refill the engine with new oil through the oil filler cap, and check the oil level with the dipstick.

YES! We have 2 Volvo's. 2000 C70 and 89 240 DL wagon. Bought 240 used 7 years ago and we are the 3rd owners of car. I would sell the C70 before I would ever sell the 240 Wagon. In fact we are beginning a long restoration project on the 240. We found a wrecked 93 240 & bought it for parts. We paid $500 for the wrecked, "spare parts" car. The 89 240 has over 250k miles. Over the years our Volvo's have needed repairs that would amount to an average of 2-3 months new car payments per year (that's including both cars). You should be able to tell if the particular car you are looking into has been abused, if it smokes or leaks oil (ours burns a little oil) so we have the oil changed every 3 months. Faded paint is common with 240's, so don't judge the car by the paint job. The other common problem with the 240 wagons is the "hinge harness" that is wired through the hinges that are attached to open the tail gate. The problem was corrected by the 93 240s. So don't be discouraged if the 3rd tail light or back wiper doesn't work. Just remember this vehicle is over 20 years old & will have its quirks. But if you have maintenance done on a regular basis, that car will last you 20 more years if you want it to. Do yourself a favor and buy Bentley's Volvo 240 Service Manual. ISBN 978-083760285-1 on Amazon for $32. Even if you have no experience with car repair (like us) its the "Volvo Bible" and a "must have" for any 240 owner. Its the best $32 you will ever spend.

I have a 96 Camry and the drain plug is metric - I believe it is 14mm. You will need a socket or wrench of the appropriate metric size.
89 Volvo is R12(Freon).You need to go to a qualified tech to have it checked.A good idea is to have it converted to R134(have to have old R12 vacummed out first,and change charging valve)then you can refill yourself.but be aware,that the valve is behind the compressor,and not easy to get to.
