Use a low saps 5w40 oil and change the oil every 10000 miles that would keep you out of problems
But if you still have warranty they use it as an excuse to not compensate Because the sticker says 0w30 0w30 was only advised for being low saps and slightly lower emision due to the low viscosity The oildillution makes that already too thin oil thinner Audi petrol turbo's without dillution already seized up with that wateroilcrap and audi now prohibits 0w30 for those engines Now be prepared by all those submissive volvo rule followers who will say in reaction to this thread numerous time that the manual "commands" 0w30 even when they dont know why and volvo cant be wrong wont they? They didnt even knew 5 years ago why the oillevels where rising yet alone that those wateroils thinned even more due to regeneration with biodieseldillution!! My volvo isnt in warranty and my engineer oil analysis heart says that thicker oil can cushion the dillution levels combined with shorter drain intervals |
