My 2008 S60 T5 has done 214000 miles and the oil recommended in my Autodata manual states 0w/30, however I have used 5w/40 for the last eight years.
The engine is both quieter and uses no oil now as a result. The interesting thing is that my 2.4 engine is pretty much the same as the late S60R models, yet the manual states 5w/40 for this model. As I also have a stage 3 BSR tune I will continue to use 5w/40. Also as an added precaution I fitted a magnetic sump plug as well. I fitted the same sump plug to my 2001 T4 as well.

As mine is standard then I best stick with what Volvo recommends'ish Whats the difference between Volov's own oil and say Castrol, is the latter better or is the Volvo a rebrand of say something like Total? I would have bought some magnatec yesterday but for Amazon coming up short, its a struggle to find a B5 be it 0 or 5W This page is a good read Ive also noticed that these car parts places such as GSF etc, costs far more for bodgit oils than it does to buy decent oils from online, and I don't like the way it throws up this sludge when I put in my reg DRIVETEC 0W30 VOLOMAX FS 5L Part No : 980AA2401 £74.14 inc VAT or COMMA 0W30 FS VOLTECH 1L Part No : 980AA2550 £18.53 inc VAT That could be very misleading for the unsuspecting They are the only 2 that are listed for mine on GSF lol

When you say noisy tappets, do you mean like a ticking sound when you rev the car, if so, I think im in the boat as you. My dipstick broke off and I had to use a screw to get it out, replaced it from a breakers, in doing so obviously checked the oil and think its time for a change, cars only been owned for a few months so God knows who's put what on it. The oil reads just over 3/4 full and looks real dirty.
My cars on 169,000 Miles, its a 5w30 for the high milage if that's correct. |

The injectors tap pretty loud on D5s, make sure it's not that you are hearing?

I did have an injector issue on mine, I change 3 of the offending injectors with new seals and clamps but only made a slight difference to the noise, my engine sounds loud compared similar diesels, I was next to a d5 xc90 earlier and that sounded much better.

HI folks, i am fairly sure it does not change when revved, its a constant tick, doesn't get faster I mean, well, I don't think it does, will have to pay more attention to it, its hard whennits just me...

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the possibility of headwork yet Bashy, I'm beginning to think that with mine, these cars supposedly suffered a batch of bad lifters which makes the car sound horrible.

I could be wrong about the "no rise and fall with the revs", I seem to be wrong about most things so, why stop there lol. Just a thought, Stellaman94 did mention about injector, I did change injector 1 not too long back and thinking about it, it may not have been ticking prior to that. I did generate injector tick in injector 1 during install as I hadn't used a new bracket thingy, once I added a fitting kit all was well. I am going to have to go under the bonnet and make sure that hasn't come back, not used the car for a few days hence not much in the way of updates... One other thing, the noise is only there once the engine has warmed a little, only talking about 1 minute on idle and about 200m travel, then it starts the ticking/tapping, whatever it is, it does not appear to be there when starting from cold (overnight)

2 videos, Ive noticed it does rise and fall with the revs but it also stops for a split second as I release the accelerator, so that sort of points to 1 or more injectors, yes? It's noisier towards 3/4/5?

Bear in mind that the aux belt isn't a totally silent part either as its in motion. For example, if you start the car & put your head at the wheel arch & listen closely, you can hear the belt moving around on the pulleys... Its a movement/friction noise. Obviously, a rattling pulley would be another noise altogether, but it can be hard to distinguish sounds in that area of the car because you've got moving belts etc too that make a noise as they move.
The ticking/tapping noise in question doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as the video on your channel from about a month ago (I know that injector has since been replaced, but it was a much louder noise than what you're experiencing now). There doesn't appear to be any leaks now & I'm guessing no codes either? If so, it may be a case of leaving it be for a while to see if the noise gets any worse (Like the sound from the video a month ago). Replacing the rest of the injectors isn't cheap & there's no guarantee that replacement will solve the noise you're hearing now (It might not be the injectors after all).
