5w40 oil specified for 960 by Volvo 900

I always suspected 5w40 was a good oil grade option for the 960 engine even though it does not appear in my owners manual. I figured it offered the best combination of cold and hot performance. Volvo seems to agree.

Updated 960 service manual

Aparantly Volvo updated the owner's manual after the cars were sold to include 5w40. I feel vindicated.
You can also search Volvos online literature library for all cars from 1965 onward here.
Volvo Research Library
Theres lots of fun info like orginal press releases, updated owner's manuals, tech articles as well as price list.
Our 94 960 wagon orginally cost $36k!!! Talk about depreciation.
Enjoy
Justin
