I guess I’m right in thinking 5w-30 is an ok oil for my age of XC90 in the British Climate. Going by the graph I could even go for 5w-40 as long as its complying with the Grade.
No , the correct volvo specification in UK is 0w/30 A5/B5 since the D5 was introduced in 2002. this is to comply with fuel consumption and emission regulations ... it will give better fuel consumption than 5w/30 Hand book specifications are way out of date ...
