    My 850 has high oild consumption. A 250 mile journey will cause the oil
    level to drop from full to below halfway the two marks on the dipstick. The
    milage is getting high -137,000 miles, but I am surprised at this oil
    consumption - particular;y when it has just passed an emissions test. Does
    anybody have any ideas that there could be a quick fix - or is the engine
    just worn out? I know that Volvo issued in 96 a Technical Service Bulletin
    no 222805 titled 'High Oil Consumption, Fault-tracing & Corrective Action'.
    Can anybody send me a copy of this?

    Thanks
