Re: Oil Weight for 92 240 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be gordon on  Sun May 6 14:14 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Volvo has an extensive list of 10W40 weight oils to AVOID...

I believe 10W40 weight is more marketing gimmick then beneficial, 10W40 oils usually just have more viscosity modifiers and LESS lubricants to "stretch" to the 40 end of the range.

Thus you are better off running 10W30 or the 15W40 weight. I have a very high mileage 1988 240DL (K-Block) and I run 15W40.
