0w30 was only advised for being low saps and slightly lower emision due to the low viscosity

Totally agree.
Since getting my 2006 S60 D5 185 , 3 years ago i have exclusively used Mobil 1 5w-30 ESP Formula ( Low Ash ). I change this oil + filter every 10k
Many on here criticised this choice of oil and warned of horrendous consequences by not sticking to a 0w-30.
Well to my mind , given the potential problems with the DPF , the low ash aspect of Mobil1 ESP outweighed the non conforming to specified viscocity.
35k on i have had no problems whatsover with the DPF, rising oil levels or indeed mechanical disaster and the fuel economy has been nothing short of superb throughout.
