Default castrol edge...

Hi, Apologies if this has been discussed before...

I'm about to buy some oil for a forthcoming service and wondered which grade I should be using in my 53 plate xc90 D5.

Castrol edge seems to be the stuff to use but which one?

0w-30 or

5w-40

Many thanks in advance!!

if you visit the castrol website, there is a facility that allows you to insert your registration number, this gives the correct grade for your application

The 5w/40 will be fine
0w/30 A5 B5 specification if you want the best
