Volvo 2 0L Engine Oil Change with Volvo Viscosity Change Announcement

Volvo's 2.0 Liter Engines now REQUIRE; VCC RBS0-2AE.
No matter when they were manufactured.
No matter what the owners manual states.
This is not to be confused with the oil brand name that Volvo recommends which is British Petroleum's (BP) brand Castrol and specifically;
Castrol EDGE Professional V because the oil meets the requirement above.

Currently, 5W-30 and 5W-20 are the most popular grades in the motor oil market. 0W-20 is the fastest growing grade and is in position to be the most common grade recommended by auto manufacturers in the coming years.

Due to the technical advancements of automobile engines hybrid vehicles, cylinder deactivation, stop-start engines, direct injection (GDI) and turbochargers are putting different stresses on the engine and motor oil.
