What Oil for Volvo MD 2020?

[sailorman]

15>40 is not synthetic

Do you how much it takes?

Why not look at the technical data section of the owners manual which you can download from

Tells you the recommended oil spec too

Note gear box or saildrive ( even a 130S) use the same oil type ..... so buy enough for the sail drive too if yo have one

We have the same engine and VOLVO dealer/mechanic says must use 15W40 and not synthetic.

That is not what you said last August in post #12 above - however you are now correct and hopefully you have not used synthetic oil.

Asda or Tescos finest 10/40 or 15/40.

Thats what I use or to be accurate not the finest but the cheapest all mineral oil. DO NOT USE FULLY SYNTHETIC!
