i too like rockin robin drive a volvo, s40 model though, with 50+km, i assume that 5w50 is also used since i have my oil changed in volvo makati.

question is, would it be an issue if i use 0w40 instead? im planning to have oil changes outside the casa since sobrang mahal sila sumingil

synthetic 5W50 on a pajero is ok. in fact, mitsu uses synthetic 15W50 (mitsu re-branded oil) in the casas.

Dealer's margin is what's missing if you get it from a distributor. Ask Volvo how much they sell the Conoco Syncon 5w50- about P500/L?
Check the Conoco site, Syncon is a full syn but prices vary depending on the distr.

Mobil 1 is cheap in the US, about $24/6x1qt. Since they closed their office locally, they left it to some distributors to import and set prices.
