Different engine oil for higher mileage?

[gman88667733]

I have recently acquired a late 2013 Volvo V60 D4 (5 Cylinder) (stop start - not sure if that affects it)
It has done 152k miles and is due a service anytime around now, but it'll be getting done with the MOT and a new clutch and Flywheel at the start of September.

My question is, shall I still use 0W30 as recommended? I've seen some posts suggesting that 5w30 may be better for higher mileage vehicles.

I was planning on using the Comma Voltech 0w30 suitable for my engine. It'll be serviced by my garage at the same time as all the other bits.

Also, whilst they are at it, is there anything else I should request is done as part of the service?

Cheers

Anyone who suggests a 5W-30 over a 0W-30 for the reasons you suggest knows nothing about oil.

Thanks for clarifying that. I'll stick to the 0w30 I was planning on getting.

The first number has no bearing on the viscosity at operating temperature.

All it means is that it'll be slightly more viscous when cold, which is the opposite of what you want.

There's some argument to move from 5W to a 0W but not the other way round.

Good to know, thanks very much.
