What should i buy?

Castrol Magnatec 5W/40 (A3/B3/B4) 20 L

Castrol EDGE 5W/40 A3/B4 20L

Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0w30 A5/B5 20 ltr

0w/30 A5/B5

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164444076727 or wherever you find it cheapest

also useful to have the filter removal tool to hand (and obvs a new filter)

although as has been recently disussed it isn't totally essential I personally feel it made my life a bit easier

Castrol Magnatec 5W/40 (A3/B3/B4) 20L £194

Castrol EDGE 5W/40 A3/B4 20L £171

Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0w30 A5/B5 20L £217


Already own Oil Filter Cap Wrench set (24pcs). :_:

not sure the reasoning behind buying 20L ? you only need about 5.5 as far as I recall

ACEA A3/B3/B4 0w/30 as volvo chose for this engine.

I have a 200 sq m/2,152 sq ft garage with storage and we use them for waste oil.

so what's the difference between that engine and the one here where you recommended A5/B5 (where I copied and pasted it from)

not for purposes of argument, just trying to understand

You don't think it's too thin when you consider what it has driven

I live in Denmark where the weather is mild.



It will be Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0w30 A5/B5



Thanks everyone

well apparently it does seem to alternate between the two types

this seems to a useful reference:
