True, but it's Volvo not Mobil who are offering the warranty and they are perfectly within their rights to refuse a warranty claim if you have not used a product that meets their specification.

True again and as Ninja said nobody says there is. No manufacturer can specify another manufacturer's products be used. They can specify an industry standard which they have in this case 0w30 A5/B5.

I've never really like Castrol that much, but use in in my D5 because it is the right oil.
