I thought this might be interesting to some folk on here.
I bought the car with around 114k on it from a Volvo dealer. Now it has 142k. I've used Mobil 1 0w-40 at every oil change up to the most recent one. Looking at the results maybe it was a mistake to give Castrol 0W-40 euro formula a shot, but I understand that Mobil 1 has changed the formulation now. The Castrol stuff looked a bit better on paper.
The car has been dealer serviced its whole life. I do think it maybe went too long between oil changes at some point in its life.
