motor oil S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be KevMan on  Tue Apr 3 15:01 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello people

taking the 'what oil is in your volvo' got me a little curious. I just went for my 1st service (10 000km) and I took with me castrol slx 0W-30 (the workshop said they needed 5litres)

checked with castrol and they said it should be fine to use the slx on S40 2.0T but because of the thin oil - some noise will be heard coming from the hydraulic tappets in the engine.

i have found the car to be smoother but notice that the engine noise may be a little harsher than before (my imagination?)

Anyhow any experience like this? btw, i live in a tropical country - avg temp is 34-37C.

Many thanks in advance
