Does my Volvo S40 FFV really need a service already?

I own a Volvo S40 FFV; last service was 90,000km when I bought it, with oil, oil filter, cabin filter and brakes done. Now at 98,000km a message on the dash says book for next service. Does it now need new oil and oil filter only after 8,000km? This seems very little with modern oil and filters.

Thank you

What used SUV should I get for up to €8,000?

Hi, I have €7,000 to €8,000 budget to buy a used SUV. I only drive 3,000 miles per year and I have been told by friends to go for the Toyota RAV4 or Suzuki Grand Vitara. What do you suggest? It will not be used for work or off road etc.

Many thanks, William.
