When you realize that M1 is much more available at a cheaper price (around $6.75 per quart at Wally World), the choice seems pretty obvious for my application.
What engine do you have in your Volvo?
All UK Volvos including 2.4 and 2.5 petrol turbos spec 5w30 A5/B5.
How does yours like the 0w40 Mobil 1?
Did you chose this using your own knowledge base or is it listed in the US market handbooks?
