Hi, all. I'm perplexed. I received a letter from Volvo that includes a sticker to be placed in the engine compartment. The letter and sticker says "0W-20 is to be used in 4-cylinder engines", however, this contradicts pre-existing factory sticker and the user's manual that came with the XC40, which state 5W-30. The manual does, however, say 0W-20 should be used in "extreme driving conditions", which I don't experience. The letter doesn't say anything in reference to the old sticker and what the manual may say and to replace it and cross-out the text.
Has anyone else received this letter? 0W-20 is a big jump when compared to 5W-30, which is much thicker. I have a 2019 XC40 T5. Is this Volvo's "cure" for their lower-than-expected MPG people have complained about the XC40? Should I switch to 0W-20?
P.S. Here's a handy video if you ever want to change your own oil:
