Be better off honestly going 0W-30 personally speaking seems smoother on 0W-30 and starting is far less arduous.

Hiya ive been reading the posts and i may opt for the 0/30 service pack from opie where you got yours from cheers bud.

I got mine from Opie, Castrol Edge 0w-30 A5/B5 for VOLVO, oil came to £49 (6 litres I wanted some spare as the current standards are 4.8 litres not 5.5 litres (as originally specced)) delivered, better than anywhere else (halfords wanted £60 odd).

If you go for edge make sure you get the Volvo A5/B5 Specification and not the VW spec they sent me the wrong one first time round - the containers look exactly the same minus labels (and of course contents).

If the deal is still on 4 litres of Edge gives one litre free enough for your service - offer still on in the below link correct Edge spec.

A5/B5:-
