Application

Volvo B5, B6, B8 and D5 petrol and diesel engines and the D82/D87 hybrid powertrains, on standard or extended change intervals.

Worth knowing

The letters VC in the names of two oils in the Mobil Super 3000 line stand for different Volvo specifications. Formula VC 0W-20 holds Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE and is rated ACEA C5; it shares only API SP with this oil, so a shared prefix does not make one a substitute for the other. Among Mobil oils, Mobil 1 ESP LV 0W-30 also officially holds Volvo VCC 95200377, but alongside ACEA C2 and an MB 229.61 approval, neither of which Formula VC has; of the two oils, only Formula VC lists ACEA A7/B7 and API SQ.

Of the four API classes listed, SQ is the highest. As the article on API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 explains, it is backward compatible with all earlier S classes, so SL, SM and SP add no new requirements. Compared with SP, the limits for deposits, oxidation and timing chain wear are stricter in SQ, and LSPI protection is also tested on used oil. Still, the same article says a manufacturer approval counts for more than any API class, so if the Volvo service book gives 95200377, check that code first.
