Where to buy Castrol Edge Professional V 0W-20 oil?
According to the Owner's Manual, the D4 engine in my S80 needs Castrol Edge Professional V 0W-20 engine oil. This seems like a specialist oil as I can't find it on the usual sites that I would at for oil.
Is Volvo the only source of this oil? I just want to keep a litre handy in case I ever need a top-up. I understand about a max top-up of 500ml and to never go above 3/4 on the (electronic) dipstick. |
are you sure it's not 0w 30?

I think it should be 0w-30 as well. My D5 uses Castrol and I get it from Opie Oils. Contact them, very helpful bunch of people

The Owner's Manual says this:

Owners manuals are not always correct. My handbook states BOT 341 transmission oil - it is beyond doubt JWS 3309.

That is correct for the 4 cylinder VEA D4 engine , it is not " 0w/20 OR ...." . there is only one specification oil for this engine and it is : 0W/20 to volvo specification VCC RBS0-2AE That is volvo's own new oil specification much like how the Germans do it . You can buy 1 litre and 4 litre Castrol bottles from the Dealer . Castrol were the first to supply it . TOTAL have recently released it , but not sure if they do retail packs , just 205 litre drums for the trade i expect . |
Hokey dokey, I'll pick a litre bottle up from the dealer soon. I've always had a bit of oil at home for any car I've ever owned just in case I needed a top-up. I've rarely ever had to top up the engine oil in any car I've owned, but I've never had a diesel until now so am not sure if it will use up oil

I would just leave well alone unless car tells you to top it,
Done 5 or 6 now that have been topped up between services and put engine light on |
