The trip to the shop was initially just for maintenance prior to a 4k mile road trip. The mechanic identified that the car was burning oil due to a clogged oil filter housing, sometimes known as an oil trap or PCV system, which needed replacement. The mechanic said this was due to the 10k mile oil change interval suggested by Volvo. They suggested changing to a 5k mile OCI to prevent the problem. They also noted that many Volvos need this service around 100k miles.

Tire was damaged beyond repair. The problem with 2013 Volvo S60 that it has a well for spare tire, but not a spare tire. Volvo gives you a can of tire repair, that I've heard destroys the wheel, after repair. By the time you get to gas station to add pressure when tire punctured, the tire is ruined. I blame it on Volvo's insanity not to supply spare tire with a car nor run flat tires.
