    Posting here because Euro: A5/B5 vs C2 0w-30 in a Volvo T6 where manual calls for 0w-30 A5/B5?

    hi everyone, Just wanting to ask for an Australian based (no snow, winter, or below 0 temperatures) the Volvo S60 T6 I have in the manual calls for 6.8L of 0w30 A5/B5 rated oil (manual link) https://www.volvocars.com/au/support/car/s60/13w46/article/4ce54cf8c4ef63adc0a801e80065d43b But 0w30...

    Honda ATF DW-1 vs Castrol Transmax import

    I've having a negative experience with Maxlife in my honda DW1 application. Harsh or jerky downshifts in low gear. I hopefully will try to get a dw1 deal for a case or the idetimitsu equivalent which I don't know the model number

    Audi 3.2L - 5w40 recommended - going to 0w40?

    Thank you. Given it's cartridge filter style, I'll stick with OEM Mann filters and go with roughly 12k km OCI for now. Though given pandemic and work from home, I doubt I'll do most of that mileage over the season.

    Audi 3.2L - 5w40 recommended - going to 0w40?

    Hey all, I know this has been discussed a lot, and usually I interchange between a 0w and a 5w in my vehicles, but my car has the audi 3.2L and it's running 5w40 euro spec (vw 502/505). I picked up some 0w40 castrol 5L jugs for cheap from my local walmart (euro spec) and I wanted to run 0w40...

    Bad Experiences with Maxlife ATF?

    Maxlife in my Odyssey Touring Elite causing harsh downshifts. Like a jerk downshifting from 3rd to 2nd or at lower speeds. I've done 3 or 4 drain and fills with Maxlife. I'm probably going to get a case of DW-1 if I can and see if there's a difference. Posted about this on odyclub and everyone...

    For Canadians; Motomaster European Oil

    I purchased a 0w20 for my honda at $26ish CAD. Seems like a good deal. Especially with oil prices being what they are.

    Shell Rotella 0w40 in a Nissan VQ35?

    Not to revive an old thread but I wanted to give some closure here. Even though I had a full jug of Shell 0w40 in my garage I ended up going with the Castrol 0w40 as I got a few jugs on sale based on a couple of the recommendations in this thread. I dumped the pennzoil ultra 5w30 and put in the...

    Shell Rotella 0w40 in a Nissan VQ35?

    Originally Posted By: VolkswagenFox21 I think the important thing that people aren't noticing here is that Rotella T6 0w40 isn't the same as the 5w40 variant. Rotella 0w40 is in fact SN rated. PDF from Shell's website nice. cj4/sn rating is important for gas engine I assume based on the...

    Shell Rotella 0w40 in a Nissan VQ35?

    hi everyone, I've searched through here and couldn't find a definitive answer so I thought I'd ask directly if that's okay? The available Shell Rotella T6 0w40 oil at stores here in Canada states its a diesel oil though I've used it in a Volvo T5 engine in the past. I have a Nissan VQ35de...

    Nissan NS2 or Eneos ECO CVT fluid?

    Originally Posted By: KGMtech In doing more research, I found a 2011 MSDS online that shows Nissan NS-2 oil being made by SOPUS Products, Houston Texas. Further, the Pennzoil CVT-2 specifically references working with Jatco & Nissan CVT systems. Additionally, the Pennzoil CVT-2 product is...

    Best value 0w30 options for Canadian customers?

    That's an option for sure. That would cover me off for a good while. Though some suggested that 0w40 might be the way to go now.

    Substitute for Volvo Power Steering Fluid? VolvoP1
