My Volvo handbook quotes Castrol Edge 0W/20.

Yep probably this stuff.

I work in the automotive parts business specifically for the Euro, and Asian brands of cars, I spend a lot of time discussing the right fluids for my customers needs. Late model Volvo’s usually have a unique oil specification and as far as I’m aware the mild hybrids call for that RBS0-2AE specification which as seen in the graph below has different properties vs a ‘normal’ ILSAC Gf6 0w20. It has different properties than GMs latest dexos1gen3 specification as well.

I am just guessing as I don’t have year and specific model info but the xc40 mild hybrids are only a few years old now maybe 4 at the oldest I think. Maybe you got them sooner on that side of the pond.

If your car is still under warranty I’d chose an oil that has that specification, so as to ensure your using an oil that will satisfy any warranty requirements on your engine should any issues arise.

Bryan, was not calling you misleading, just the eBay post as it seems to list every oe specification imaginable in the photos, I also drive a Toyota, and a modern API SP, oe ILSAC gf6 is all the Toyota’s require in terms of specification.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
FWIW the vehicle is still under Volvo warranty for another 6 months of the 3 year manufacturer warranty. It comes with a futher 1 year warranty so until that expires I will only be topping up oil. My days of home servicing are over.

Was out at a small car meet today, there was a XC40 there Ted. In black and a good looking car. Also a blue estate (unsure of number) but some good crisp design on them within current generation of Volvo.

Quite an eclectic mix, from very early E-Type and through many others to current Lotus. Seemed like it was going to clear up but got steadily more wet with good turnout but not the usual numbers.

They do good sausage or bacon roll though as pub location getting the kitchen warmed up prior to lunch service  :)
