Meeting API specification SG
For best fuel economy and engine protection, consult with your authorized Volvo retailer for
recommended oils. Oil with designation SG/CD complies with this requirement. Oil with a different
quality rating may not provide adequate engine protection.
Volvo recommends the use of fuel economy improving oils. Look for the API label.
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.
Volvo does not recommend oil additives as they can adversely affect the engine
