The label in the engine bay says ACEA A5/B5 and the owners manual says to check the label in the engine bay.

I gave them the reg and vin when ordering the parts. Should they have given me an A5/B5 oil?

I have seen what Google says about the different ACEA grades and am not worried it will harm the engine. Just want to know if anyone else has had similar experience?

Cheers
It should be A5/B5 spec according to volvo for the last 14 years at least
what you have might be ok for 12000 miles ..
