Mobil1 regular, EP, and AP are all A5/B5 now.
Now that this news is here, I'd use M1 Annual Protection 5w30 in that Volvo to meet the A5/B5 requirements with an advanced antioxidant package.

I was under the same impression.

5w30 A5/B5 is what Volvo wants you to use, unless its the 4-cylinder we're talkin' about (don't know which Drive E this is). The 4-cylinder can use their special 0w20, yet all engines can use the 5w30 A5/B5.

Good to know M1 is all A5/B5 now. Was a matter of time given that A1/B1 is no more. I’d use M1 EP because I’ve seen it do very well in UOAs and it’s easy to find at a good price.

All Drive-E engines are 4-cylinder - it is the name they use for their new "Volvo Engine Architecture" designs.

Finally! M1 back on the A5/B5 wagon.

Wasn't it just a few months ago we were having a hard time finding A5/B5 5W30s that were available at Walmart??

D'OH!! I forgot that that they have a 3-cylinder Drive-E engine now too. I guess my point is there is no 5 cylinder (or larger).
