Volvo doesn't read the UOA section here at BITOG ... I wish they would.
Why, so they can see how well an oil holds up in service? After all, that is the purpose of the tool.
I'm sure Volvo has done extensive tear-down and endurance testing on their engines and their lubricant choice/recommendation reflects that. However, we can always just pretend Volvo slaps an engine together with no testing at all and it is up to us to use an oil contamination and life monitor tool to figure out the "perfect oil" for the application.
Sound ridiculous? That's exactly my point.
