Best Answer

If you started it when the engine was cold and then did not run it long enough to warm up at all, it may well have a valve that is stuck open. I have a 94 960 and that is what happened to it. Google it and you will see others have experienced this. Some recommendations are to always run it to warm once it has been started from cold, to always use synthetic motor oil, and to run the engine (while driving in low gear) at high RPM for five minutes.
