Get some ACEA A3 5w40 MB229.5 in there.

Don't see coolant. That good.

Enjoy!

Yeah, after a quick "flush" change, that is my plan.

Total Quartz 9000 Energy 5W40 performs very well in my S60 turbo.

That is what I am looking at. This poor T6 has a PCV issue, though (oil everywhere, failed glove test), so it is slightly dissembled right now while I replace the applicable parts...

They all have a PCV issue. That's why they're at auction!

Seriously, though, I've done the PCV on both my cars, and while my turbo 5 cylinder isn't exactly the same as your six cylinder, I can tell you some of the pitfalls, if you're interested.

Yes, very interested. Also, should I replace with new the metal tube? I know there is a URO rebuild kit, but haven't heard great things about URO (though also concerned since the tube is pretty expensive).
