I was reading of one element recently that claimed (think it was a castor product) good resistance against pre-ignition in direct injection petrol engine ! Then wondered just how much oil would be interning the combustion chamber to have such an effect, also the consumption of oil at such a level.I know DI can give some problem with bore wear as unintentional characteristic, perhaps with more advanced mileage, but didn't realise it could get that bad
Pretty sure that Volvo has a specification for the 0w20 to meet for that car beyond just 0w20. Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE 0W-20 synthetic oil Isn’t the same as a regular 0w20 for typical Asian cars or dexos1gen2 oils That eBay listing is misleading as the TDS sheet doesn’t include the Volvo approval. https://www.mannol.de/create-pdf/108/en
Why would you need to top up the oil on a new car Ted?My wife’s Audi is 8 years old and I’ve never touched it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkInteresting....I have a brand new Ford Tourneo. Made by VW and the same as Caddy. Flashed up needing oil at 4k miles. Likewise my friends brand new Audi Q3 did similar. Apparently VWs can do this but then settle down.....?? Spoken to Ford on mine and told to pop it in to have it looked at. All feels a bit uncomfortable to me as likewise I thought new vehicles now us little oil. My Expert can that ive had from new does not use much...
