As Cujet said, generally no!Could anyone help me with thios dilema? I want to use castrol magnatec C2 0w30 oil instead 0w20 C5 what
volvo recomend ( RBSO-2AE). Would that be harmful for my car or not?
Thnx
no, I have 20lit of that 0w30 so I wanted to use it.Is a warranty in play here?
I would try C3 but thats totaly different oil. Do you know anyone who tried to swap oils?The car won't even notice the difference. It won't harm anything. However, it won't help anything either. The difference between the two lubricants in terms of viscosity is nearly insignificant. Now, if you went for an ACEA C3 0W-30 or 5W-30 then you'd actually get a thicker oil with a HTHS of at least 3.5.
Totally different how?I would try C3 but thats totaly different oil. Do you know anyone who tried to swap oils?
HTHS 3,5 vs 2,6Totally different how?
And tried to swap oils? What do you think can happen?
Wow, that's a lot. On summer it's fineno, I have 20lit of that 0w30 so I wanted to use it.
And how much mileage did you get with those oils? No problem I guess?I had a two Volvo V40's with the 2.0 VEA engine that specified the RBS0-2AE oil.
I used to run ACEA C3 oils in them. Usually 5w40's.

Nothing bad will happen. There is a relationship between temperature and viscosity, and due this relationship engines are not as sensitive to viscosity as you think they are.HTHS 3,5 vs 2,6

The additive package/underlying technolgy stack is rarely discussed, if at all.The thick v. thin debate rages on. Folks from each side will cite valid examples of success.
Why wouldn't it be fine in winter?Wow, that's a lot. On summer it's fine
There are C3 oils that are also C2!The car won't even notice the difference. It won't harm anything. However, it won't help anything either. The difference between the two lubricants in terms of viscosity is nearly insignificant. Now, if you went for an ACEA C3 0W-30 or 5W-30 then you'd actually get a thicker oil with a HTHS of at least 3.5.
