Look up Opie Oils and merely put in your Reg No and they will tell you the oil you require and delivered to you. I have used Castrol throughout my motoring life without any problems and it is my oil of choice and also recommended by Volvo. In addition, there is the classic story of Irv Gordon (he sadly died last year in China), a teacher from New York, who bought a P1800 in 1966 and completed over 3 million 250 thousand miles and he used Castrol GTX and Volvo filters throughout its life. It is recorded in the Guinness Book of records. Basically, if it was good enough for Irv it will certainly be good enough for me! You wont go far wrong.
