Volvo oil spec for D5?
Hi
Forgive me for asking questions like this, its a throwback from being a merc owner! Is there an oil specification listed by volvo for use on their D5 engine? a bit like mercedes have their own oil specs eg MB229.3 Jjust like to know for when i eventually get round to servicing the car, want to buy the right spec....and i'm too lazy to read the owners manual! :angry2: |
RTFM you lazy sod :Dancing_chief:
Im too lazy to read the manual and check for you :-) |
ok, read it.
Now i'm just as confused as i was to begin with.:errrr: which is the higher spec? ACEA B4 or ACEA A3?:angry2: |
Might be worth posting in the the deisel specific part of the technical topics too?
|
ok, this australian webpage helps quite a bit
http://="http://www.racq.com.au/cps/...l_ENA_HTML.htm and this site i found useful too http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html In general, spec A3/B4 are the same except 'A' prefix denotes for petrol engines and 'B' prefix denotes for diesel engines. Specifically, oils designed for use in diesel engines contain more detergent additives and shouldnt really be used in petrol engines. |
