Question Few questions to my fellow Volvo friends

So my V40 has hit 100K and its time for another service, what oil do u guys would recomend for a 1.8 gdi? Also I need to replace disks and pads all around and I was thinking about getting some drilled/grooved ones. I also noticed there is a service light in my car but how do I enable it so it will remind me about the service? Thanks for any help guys

Edit:
Also any recommendations for a bigger disk setup on front?

I just use any decent good oil i can find in my local store, and I also have a 1.8 GDI but I do recomend castrol, it's a well known oil.

Also for the service light, it should turn on automatically every XXX miles you drive.

Shell Helix 5/40 but at 200,000 I've swapped to 10/40.

I will try 10/40 because my GDi uses a bit of oil maybe that will help it. And any tips about the disks and pads? Seen some drilled and grooved for around 160 all around and thinking about them.

Look at Eurocarparts and use their discount code MID36 for a 36% discount. Pagid discs and pads are very good quality. Just make sure you order the correct size discs and pads for the front, your discs should be 281mm I believe...
