Thanks for posting the pic! I may have to go take a look-see myself here soon. Where about in the south east are you?

Thanks guys, i had been using PU 5w40 prior to this, but had to give this stuff a try when AAP had it buy one get one free. I was going to edit in a larger image, but the site appears to autosize the image.

They are definitely attractive vehicles when optioned out, and by the time they introduced the xc60, the T6 engine/trans combo with awd seem to have had plenty of time to be ironed out. Any transversely mounted 6 cylinder with AWD and a turbo is going to be a tight fit in almost any engine bay...

2003 S60 T5 with 106k miles Oil spent 7 months in the sump, my average distance driven is around 10 miles per trip, with a few stints of 100+ mile drives. I used a Mann cartridge filter and just put in a fresh mann airfilter as well. Driving style is pretty mild, but that 5 cylinder exhaust...

105k on my s60, first 55k miles supposedly got PYB every 5-7.5k, but who knows, the receipts were spotty at best on the oil changes at the quicklube. I tend to switch oil every 3-4 oil changes just to keep my mind busy. Started with GC, then to PU 5w40, now on castrol 0w40. It uses a little...

1. PU 5w40 2. Castrol 0w40 I prefer the PU, but like everyone else.. can't really get it anywhere besides amazon. Since AAP has been carrying the castrol 0w40 i have been using it for the past two oil changes.

Chevrons have been slowly but surely disappearing around here. Mostly being replaced by Valero.

My car is kinda low and i needed a good floor jack anyways. You can do everything with a jack, but a set of raceramps is kind of specialized and $$$. my car has a beefy front subframe that i can use to jack the whole front end up anyways.

PU 5w40 is the ticket in my T5 in southern MS. GC was loud on cold mornings and it seemed to use a little much oil on short (3-4k) ocis. Pennzoil sent me a case of the 5w40 way back and was lucky enough to score a customer from it.

how about we all send a request to autozone in an attempt to try and get it on the shelves?

the PP 5w40 that oil-store had was the SL rated. The newest formulation of PP/PU 5w40 is SM rated. (or maybe i have it backwards with the SM/SL). At any rate, the older pp 5w40(one oilstore had) was a thicker/mid range 40 weight.
