I have an xc90 2010 v8 - 105k miles. factory towing package etc.
I do tow with the vehicle and live in upstate NY with hilly terrain and drive 60+ miles a day. temps get in the negatives and can be in the 90s in the summer, I am looking at liqui moly products cause i have used them before and had good luck with their products on a diesel mercedes.
The manual states:
Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-4, API SL, or ACEA A1/B1. They also note that for "extreme" conditions such as towing to use a synthetic 0w 30 or 0W-40 and name drop Castrol.
However sort of at a loss looking at more modern oil standards compared to the 2010 standards of the vehicle. not sure where to decide. no one oil states all the above and they seem to be newer standards? is it ok to always assume a newer standard vs something that meets an older standard?
Two oils I am looking at are:
Liqui-Moly Special Tec V: 0w-30
Liqui-Moly Molygen 5w-30
However here is the total list they provide for the vehicle:
