With consumption that high the grade or make of oil used will have no appreciable effect. You have a mechanical problem in the engine (or turbo) and minor changes in oil type is not the answer. Since you have been careful with maintenance you have to assume that somewhere in the car's past it was abused, or repaired improperly, etc. All Volvos are created equal - but after they leave the factory, who knows? As you can tell from this board most of us are getting good service from Volvos even after much greater mileages than yours. Sorry to hear of the bad luck.
