As Paul said ^^. 10w40 Semi Synth.

And change it every 6 months. Change Oil Filter every 12 months.

as above, a good quality 10w 40 semi, as thats what volvo recomends, and they did build these engines after all, so they should know.
and as dicky b says, every 6 months, and for the sake of £6, id do the filter at the same time. (and dont forget tthe sump plug washer)
best regards

10/40 Castrol Magnetec works a treat with a little extra protection from cold.
