Laneystrider thanks.

In a nutshell Castrol no longer produce an oil that meets volvo specification which will explain why my local dealer has switched to Mobil.

Mobil 1 Fuel Economy is 0w-30 and is ACEA A5/B5.

I don't know why volvo hq still say castrol is recommended when they have no oil to meet their specification.

I either switch from castrol to Mobil or supply my own oil from Shell.
