Thanks but... Is it really that big of a difference? In fuel consumption?

Thank you! I really appreciate your reply back! The Volvo with 5W30 consumes a bit of oil. And I life in the Netherlands winters is almost never below -0 maybe 2 a 3 times a year it does. Because I have a diesel and I drive sometimes small trips I was thinking about the 0W oil.

Oke, thank you! And with cold starts, is ofc. 0W30 a bit faster in winter conditions. Is there any other things I can check on? Any specs?

Pcv? What is that and thanks

I drive an Volvo V40, with an 5-cylinder engine. What oil brand would you guys recommend me for an 0W30 or 5W30 oil. I Live in the Netherlands but go this summer to an hot climate (35/40 degrees)

Yes, also! I did some engine diagnostics (reading with obd) no fault codes. I drive and don't pull hard, i drive on cruise control

Sometimes people in Europe do and can of Lique Moly in the oil, as sort of extra additive in the oil. Is this a myth or does it have any small improvements?

Like oil, oilfilter and air filter. But what can cause diesel bad fuel economy? Sensors? LMM? Etc
