Not sure what type of oil is best for the 850 r. I'm trying to figure out why my oil burnsfaster maybe the turbo or the oil type if any suggestions please let me know. Does anybody know of a good shopin Philadelphia to service my car?

 

Most like Mobil 1 10/30

 

You don't want the oil to burn....

But Synthetic for cars w/ Boost is HIGHLY recommended.

 

5w30 or 10w30? or is it winter 5w30 and summer 10w30

 

Varry's on preference.
Someone will be able to help more with the Northern climate.
I am in Florida. 10/30 all year round.

 

where in philly r u i know a good shop right outside of philly in North hills
that my grandfather and mom have been goin to for close to 35 yrs
i work there during summers. It is called Sacco auto Repair
Phone # 215-885-4621
i use 5w30 in winter and 10w30 in summer if u use 10w30 in winter
in may take longer to warm up.
hope this helps!

 

I think 5w goes down to temperatures of -30F.

It's really unnecessary. No need to spend the extra cash, 10w is fine...And remember, I come from Minnesota so I know cold...

As Tech has noted, oil selection is more of a personal preference than scientific facts. However, I would use 10W-30 for turbocharged engines, unless you live in the Arctic area and mostly do short trips. Once warms up, 10W-30 should suffice and 5W-30 may become too thin for the turbine bearing. But again, using 5W-30 won't harm anything. However, as RedTurbo has noted, I would definitely use either full-synthetic or synthetic-blend for a turbocharged engine. I personally use Valvoline Durablend 10W-30 and the car seems to be happy with it. Even though Volvo engines are noted for may miles of service, make sure to use good quality oil, as their engines are extremely sensitive to the quality & correct quantity of the oil.

In addition, make sure to use either OEM (MANN) filter or equivalent that has check valve in it.

I hope this helps.
