Meeting API specification SG
For best fuel economy and engine protection, consult with your authorized Volvo dealer 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 energy-conserving fuels. 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 additional oil additives, as they can adversely affect the engine.
