I would recommend checking out Opie Oils, the guys there are very helpful. Personally I favour the Fuuchs/Silkolene brand as there stuff is fantastic.

You may well benefit from a discount code too if you ask nicely. They also supply the filter cartridges.

No, that one looks like its not the Volvo specific one

You would need:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Castrol-1502CE-Edge-0W-30-A5/dp/B007ZMLH8A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404650923&sr=8-2&keywords=Castrol+Edge+Fluid+Strength+Technology+0W-30+4L

Used it in mine for the last 2 services and it's been fine

That is actually Volvo recommendation.

That is actually Volvo recommendation.

Actually if you use the manual

5W-30 A1/B1 or 0W-30 A5/B5 is the rating on a 2.0D. I would recommend the 0W-30 A5/B5 route though of which there is only a small proportion produced (plenty of 0W-30 oils but not ACEA rated correctly).

SLX went out a fair while ago, getting replace by the Edge range.
