Picked up a new 2018 Volvo V40 D3 on the weekend with the new VEA engine.
Out of curiosity, what is the OCI on the VEA engines in the US? Mine is apparently good for 18,000miles or 1 year on the 0w20 RBS0-2AE oil.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dubious about running a diesel engine with an EGR and DPF for 18k on a 0w20 oil. But, I'm sure Volvo have done a ton of testing and the engine will outlast the car.
As I know very little about this engine, does anyone know if they have a variable oil pump or VCT or something that may stop me using a Dexos2 0w30 or 0w40 in the long term?
