all engines burn a tiny amount of oil, especialyl when running-in, or whatever the current term for dont-thrash-it-straight-away is

I just ordered this from Euro Car Parts:- https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/V...95e2dbd&000398
Shell do say it's the correct choice for my 2015 V60 D4 (181):- https://www.shell.co.uk/motorist/oil...BfRUZ0OFBsZElV Last edited by Zebster; Jul 15th, 2018 at 08:09. |

I just checked Total and Mobil oil websites. Same result as Shell. My reg suggests 0W-20 on both.
...So not sure why Opie is suggesting 0W-30. |

They are normally reliable, but obviously not foolproof. Personally I'd far rather take advice from the car manufacturer or a major oil company.

64000 dollar question - would a 0-30 kill the engine, and if so, how? Am interested to better understand, if possible.

One of you probably has an AWD D4! Both are 181hp but totally different engines.
The fwd has the new VEA 2ltr 4-cylinder engine which uses the 0w-20 The awd has the older 2.4 ltr 5-cylinder engine which uses the 0w-30 |

Hypothetically putting aside all the other oil specs, I can't see how the slightly thicker oil would be directly damaging to the engine, but it would put greater load on the oil pump drive and so damage the fuel economy.
