When it comes to choosing the best motor oil for your Volvo S60, there are many factors to consider. Fortunately, we have done all of the research so you don’t have to! In this article, we will discuss what you need to know about different types of motor oils and give recommendations for which one is best suited for a Volvo S60.
How Much Oil Does a Volvo S60 Take?
The first question you need to ask yourself is how much oil your car takes. This information can usually be found in the car’s owner’s manual, or it may be stamped on the engine itself. If you can’t find this information, you can measure the oil level with a dipstick.
Volvo S60s typically take between five and seven quarts of motor oil. For example, 2.0L Volvo S60 with A2 B4204T2 Turbo engine takes 6.4 quarts of 0W-20 oil. 2.0L B4204T39 Volvo S60 takes 5.9 quarts of 0W-20 oil.
VCC RBS0-2AE 0W-20 engine oil is required. Oil with a lesser grade may not provide the same fuel efficiency, performance, or protection as higher-grade oils. It’s possible that it’ll be necessary to add oil between regularly scheduled services. To avoid any problems with engine oil levels, wait for a message in the instrument panel before taking any procedures.
