Hello

I've just bought a V70 2.5T, registered August 1998 (has the blue grill badge, so I think that means it has the fly by wire throttle).

I've just a few Qs:

- the service light is lit on the dashboard, how do a I clear that?

- the boot lid doesn't like to stay up. I thought it might have had boot struts, but doesn't. Is there anything I can do so make it stay up?

- it needs an oil/filter change asap. Will the filter be the metal spin on? Eurocarparts shows the paper filter, but I assume they wrong?

- I've been using Castrol 10/40 semi oil on my S70, is that okay for the turbo engine?

cheers all
