Hello there
My 2016 XC70 D5 (2.4L 5cyl twin-turbo diesel) calls for a 0W-30 A5/B5 oil and I have been using Castrol Edge Professional A3 0W-30 for the last three OCIs. As I’ve nearly emptied the 20L drum of this oil, I’m looking at what to buy for its next oil change.
Should I stick to this low visc and low HTHS oil, or should I go for something with a little more MOFT and trade a tiny bit of fuel economy?
PS this car does have a DPF but the recommended Castrol 0W-30 is not a low SAPS oil – it has 1.1% SA.
I run Castrol Edge Professional A3 0W-40 in my partner’s Focus RS (2.5 5cyl turbo gasoline Volvo engine)… should I just run the 0W-40 in the XC70 too? Or is there a better option?
Thank you
