Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Operation in hot climates
When temperatures exceed 86° F (30° C) in your area, Volvo recom\
mends, for the protection of your engine, that
you use a heavier weight oil, such as such as SAE 5W-40 or 0W-40. See th\
e viscosity chart.
Operation in temperate climates
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when t\
emperatures do not exceed 86° F (30° C),
SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the \
viscosity chart.
Extreme engine operation
Synthetic oils meeting SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40 and complying with oil quality\
requirements are recommended for
