Engine Oil - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

Oil grade:
Petrol engines: ACEA A1
ACEA A3 grade oil can also be used.
Note that the same oil can comply with both ACEA A1 and ACEA B1,
regardless of whether it is a mineral, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil.
For engines in V70 R cars, engine oil which complies with ACEA A3 is
recommended.
Diesel engines: ACEA B4
Note that the same oil can comply with ACEA A3, ACEA B3 and
ACEA B4.
Regardless of whether it is a mineral, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil.
Do not use extra additives. These can damage the engine.
Castrols® fully synthetic engine oil is recommended for turbocharged
petrol and diesel engines.
Volvo recommends Castrol® oil products.

* Oils with viscosity 0W-30 and 0W-40 must fulfil the
requirements of ACEA A3 (petrol engines).
Viscosity (assumes constant air temperature)
For extreme driving conditions that produce abnormally high oil tempe-
ratures or oil consumption, such as driving in mountainous terrain with a
great deal of engine braking or high-speed motorway driving, oil grade
ACEA A3 (petrol engines) is recommended.
