Default Engine Oil question....Puzzled

I have a 2010 XC60 D3. Looking in the manual the ACEA spec. for the oil is A5/B5. This engine of course has a DPF and I was always lead to believe it's more beneficial to use an oil with an ACEA spec of C1 to C5.
Can any one tell me why Volvo don't specify the low SAPS oil?
Is there a technical reason?

As I do a lot of short runs where its difficult to get the exhaust up to the optimum operating temperature, Can I use the Low SAPS oil in order to preserve my DPF?
