With my very own eyes.
yesterday the mechanics who worked on my V70 showed me some oil from a rather well known company sold in a "private shop" that you need a membership for >This place is meant to "COST" less than other places Now they showed me the same bottle (both sealed) bought from a supplier both opened and 1/4 litre poured into clear glasses . Not the same oil..... huge colour difference and the smell was different Same spec etc .100% the same label . No difference at all, except for the contents Now....I wonder just how much we are been fooled and the marketing making us "happy" to buy expensive oils etc I think we are been conned . |

"Marketing" is one thing, but that sounds like flat-out fraud!

What was that bright green oil sold in the 60's Duckhams?
I always get the official Volvo Castrol for my engine from FRF at discount.

Here is the official list for all cars published by FRF Volvo. Notice that the names are only very slightly different for different oils.

So whats the best oil then, there doesnt seem to be an answer...
Ive topped mine up with Mobil 1 3000 Fully Synthetic until i get round to doing an oil change.. Its 5W30 and meets A5/B5 spec.

I have a 2002 S80 D5 and according to the Castrol Oil selector on their website they recommend a 5W40 Castrol Edge. I also checked Mobil website and they recommend a 0W40 Mobil 1.
Confused even more. |
