This thread is both informative and interesting, however it’s gotten a little silly. We are debating the sciences of oil shear and viscosity!
Look at the number of D5s and other Volvo engines with 300,000 miles plus and no wear. Volvo simply do not make vehicles to last the warranty period!
My XC90 is at almost 110,000 miles, is specified 0-30 and gets 0-30. I but the oils from Volvo as it is as cheap and usually cheaper than opie and euro car parts etc etc and I do not use one drip between services.
