Hi All,

Question surrounding oil for the D5 163 on a 2004 year (04) more specifically in my S60 SE.

Need some oil...

Volvo Genuine 0w30 Fully Synthetic A5B5 - 7 Litres for £93.10. (Sold by Volvo)

Or

Q8 T630 5w30 Part Synthetic A5B5 (apparently with a letter saying it is approved by Volvo) - 7 Litres for £31.68. (Sold by Volvo)

Or

Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 5L Fully Synthetic A5B5 - 7 Litres for £74.00. (Halfords)

Which oil should I put in my car?! I'm aware the D5 engine can be quite fussy, and that apparently it has a 7 litre sump...

Cheers

Chris
