Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel economy and
engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils. Oil
additives must not be used unless advised by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Volvo recommends use of oil with a quality rating equal to or higher than ILSAC GF-2. Equivalent and
better oils include ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF, and SJ/Energy conserving. Lower quality oils may not
