My engine spec says in the bonnet to use 0w30 Acea A3/B4.

My car is 2005 Volvo XC90,D5 Diesel.

Engine is D5244T.


Thank you.
Don’t do it! From bitter experience... always stick to A3/B4 for these engines.

Also, 18,000 miles is too far between changes, especially if the engine has already done a lot of miles.
