Hi Jeff,

I've been using Shell Rotella T 15W40 in my non-turbo (~235K mi) for about 12K mi and it seems to really like it. Oil consumption is less then a L (quart) every 5K km (3K mi) and it runs very well. I use Amsoil 10W40 in my turbo, but I don't in the non-turbo because I'm afraid it would cause leaking problems. Oh, the Volvo manual says 15W40 is acceptable for some conditions too.
