I have a 1996 850 Turbo, and happened to bring it to a Volvo dealer here in central Connecticut 2 weeks ago for some service. I usually do stuff on my own, but didn't feel like dealing with a coolant flush and they were running a special. Anyway, when they did the oil change with the work order, they notified me that about 3 years ago Volvo corporate changed their requirements to 5w30 across the board for year round oil for almost every Volvo model. I am taking this corporate recommendation and will be running 5w30 Mobil 1 in my car from now on. I have been using 10w30 Mobil 1 up until now.

Just my recent discoveries when dealing with a straight up Volvo Dealer.
