Gulf Ultrasynth X Engine Oil - 0W-20 - 1ltr £12.49 >> 1 in stock
TRIPLE QX Synplus Fully Synthetic Engine Oil - 0W-20 - 1ltr £12.99 (or 5L £51.49) >> 2 in stock

I haven't heard of either of these brands - does anyone have an opinion??

Much appreciated again.
yes I would use that over the 0w/30 but remember it is NOT the volvo specification oil so changing the lot when you get back is a good idea .
these engines are not prone to using oil , but the person who changed it last might not have done it correctly as I described above .. so when you get it home get it changed at the dealer properly , reminding them to reset the oil gauge which they have to do when they change the oil ...
