Why would my dealer use Castrol E-dge Pro V 0W20 but....
....when I go to the Castrol website and put in my car, it recommends Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-30 A5/B5. I know there are two arguments here:
#1) Oil weight (0W20 vs 5W30)
#2) Castrol Edge Euro vs. Castrol Professional V.
I'm more concerned with #1. The dealer, on my 30K service interval put 0W20 in the engine yet Castrol's website, when you put Volvo 2019 XC90 T6, you are suggested the 5W-30. I'm inclined to keep the 0W20 since I believe it may result in slightly better MPH but more important, I want to follow what engineers had in mind when they designed this engine.
Thoughts?
