Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - !! Need 0W-20 oil (Bristol)

Hi.

Having driven up from Cornwall yesterday to Bristol for a two night stopover before continuing to London, I had a warning to top up 0.5 litres of oil. I'm trying to find 0W-20 oil but, as mentioned on this forum, it isn't available in Halfords, etc.

The Bristol Volvo dealer parts department was shut Saturday afternoon (by the time I had realised it isn't a standard oil available at Halfords) so couldn't help me. They said come back Monday - but I need to drive back to London tomorrow (Sunday).

Amazon prime won't deliver until Monday. Euro car parts have it on their website and one of their Bristol stores is open tomorrow so I can try them in the morning

Does anyone near Bristol (or anywhere on M4 corridor) have 1L of spare 0W-20 sitting around?

At a push, could I substitute with any other oil? To confuse matters, the oil warning changes between 0.5 and 1litre warnings. The salesman at the dealer said (I should take this with a pinch of salt) that I shouldn't drive it to London without filling up.

Anyone got any practical suggestions??

Car is XC60, MY15, 2.0L 181BHP

Many thanks in advance.
