Is your mechanic a chemist? A mechanical engineer? A petroleum engineer?

If he is, what's he doing working as a mechanic?

Advice from mechanics is cheap and usually only worth that.

Use any name brand oil you wish and you'll be fine.

And, surprise, surprise, this is what your owner's manual says, too.

You can take it to the bank that the people that made your Volvo (and put their words in the owner's manual) know more about your Volvo than any mechanic in the universe.

You'll be even better off with synthetic oil.
