Liqui Moly engine oil
Sorry, I know, another engine oil thread.
Would the attached Liqui Moly oil be suitable for my T5? (Leichtlauf Performance 10W-40) It's ACEA A3/B3. My owner's manual specifies ACEA A3 for turbocharged engines and either 10W/30 or 10W/40. Anyone on here used Liqui Moly oils before and know what the differences are between their ranges – they seem to have at least five 10W/40 products meeting ACEA A3! Realise my post might have answered my question, but I want to be sure.

There was a recent discussion via this thread - https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=336444, about oil for turbo cars. As long as the oil you're using meets or exceeds the standard specified for your engine, it will be OK. Mine was running on semi-synth 10w-40 by the previous owners, but I've now upgraded to 5w-40 fully synthetic, as my research says turbo cars should be using fully synthetic. Other members will be much more informed, but hope that helps as a start. |

Thanks for the link, that's useful.
I thought it was fully synthetic, however after looking up the translation for 'Teilsynthetisch' on the bottle, it seems it's semi synthetic.

You can email/speak to Liqui-Moly either at their HQ in Germany or now here in the UK. Google them for details. I had a question once before they had a branch in the UK and they replied virtually by return.
