Get the cheapest pail of a 15w-40 HDEO you can, and just decant it into 5L jugs for top offs.
Came here to say this!
I've had two of these engines and they were absolutely fantastic with no consumption issues at all.

One would hope it’s settled out in the last year.At this rate of oil consumption, dont waste money on good oil, a 15w40 or UP might reduce the burning.
Did you fix it? Mine is having the same issue now at 83k. Same car and year as yours.I’m bringing this thread back to life as my daughter is due for an oil change. Fortunately she walks to work and is barely driving. I found her a good Indy in Jackson,MS that will let me supply the oil. Three oil viscosity choices appear in the owners manual. 0w/20 for extreme driving, 0w/30 or 5w/30. The manufacturer has corrected itself this year w a memo saying 0w/20 for all these 2.0 turbo cars. There is also the Volvo approved classification which 2 Indy Euro shops have told me doesn’t matter. Lastly the ACEA rating recommended is ACEA A5/B5.
QUESTION 1) what weight should consume less oil? 0w/20 or 5w/30?
QUESTION 2) ignore the Volvo certification and/or ACEA class?
Overall goal is to find an INEXPENSIVE oil that reduces oil consumption (I’m going with the assumption this is a flawed ring situation that Volvo quickly corrected about 1-year after the launch of these 2.0 turbos)
Yes. No dipstick. Dumb system. It has 2 settings 1) Ok 2) low
It is a stupid system. 1/2 quart low will read low.
