Oil  quality
 
Meeting API specification SG, SG/CD, SH or  Energy Conserving (EC) II  
For best fuel economy and  engine protection, consult with your authorized Volvo retailer for recommended oils.  Oil
with a  different  quality rating may not provide adequate engine protection. Synthetic oils  complying with oil quality
requirements are recommended for : driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a
trailer over long distances or for prolonged driving in mountainous areas. 
Extra  oil additives must not be used  unless advised by an authorized Volvo retailer.  
NOTE:  SAE 15 W -40 oil should only be  used in extreme operating conditions such as trailer towing in sustained
ambient temperatures over 104° F (40° C). However, SAE 10W -30 synthetic oil would be  a  better alternative in such
conditions. 
SAE  15W-30 should not be used  under normal operating conditions.
