Liqui Moly do make low saps oils (Reduced Zinc based additives) for the DPF afflicted, just use their oil finder page of their web site and it will list all of their oils that are a good match.
Synthoil High Tech is a real German standard full synthetic, but was expensive in the UK. The best used oil analysis results I've got so far were from using Synthoil High Tech 5w40 (A3/B4), but they do make an 0w30 and 40 that are good for DPF sufferers.
If you want a turbo to last, use a real Volvo oil filter and cut the Max recommended oil change interval in half. In technical terms LM Synthoil and Shell Ultra are both better than Castrol Edge or Mobil 1.
Shell Ultra is probably cheaper than Liqui Moly Synthoil if you are looking for the best oil available and it's results were very close to those of using the real McCoy Synthoil.
