Castrol Edge Euro Car M 0W20 Synthetic Engine Oil, VEA & DrivE Engines

When you see "Volvo recommends Castrol" on your oil filler cap, this is the specific Castrol: Castrol Edge Euro Car M (previously packaged for Volvo as Professional Edge V), meeting Volvo's RBS0-2AE specification for their VEA turbo- and twincharged 2.0L engines. If you buy a bottle of oil at your Volvo dealer parts counter, this is what you get.

This full synthetic oil is designed to protect modern low-friction, direct-injected, forced-induction European engines, and in addition to Volvo's tough RBS0-2AE spec, it also meets Porsche C20 and BMW LL-17 FE+ specs. It features:

• High levels of detergents and emulsifiers to keep carbon and moisture from hybrid stop-starts at bay
• A carefully crafted anti-wear additive package to protect bearing and cam surfaces and cylinder walls despite the low viscosity
• Ultra-low SAPS (sulphonated ash, phosporous, and sulfur) to minimize low-speed pre-ignition direct injected engines are vulnerable to at low RPMs and light-to-moderate loads

Low SAPS and detergents in particular are super important for these VEA four cylinders, as standard 5W-30s will lead to carbon buildup and LSPI low-RPM knock, a one-two punch that will damage your engine's piston rings and lead to oil burning over time. We can't stress enough how important the correct oil is on these direct injected, high stress engines...but we're also seeing these engines reach 200k miles or more when the correct oil is used and changed regularly. This stuff just works.
