This oil thing is a bit of a shock to read about!
I don't know what to do now, I've been running 5W/30 for years. On T5/D5 they're recommending 10W/40 or 10W/60 if you drive hard. 10W/60? that's pretty much twice the 'thickness' of the Volvo recommended oil, I can't believe this hasn't been discussed on here more!

T5D5 is a performance forum. Though sadly it isn't used much these days. I'd argue that the knowledgeable people on there have done far more work on engines and turbos than the Volvo dealers themselves in the long run, so know what they're doing. I'm running 10W40 in mine, asked Volvo to put it in and they didn't bat an eyelid.
