Service bulletin S29650

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Volvo has identified that upgrading the oil specification to ACEA A5/B5 Full Synthetic will help reduce carbon build up in the engine, and better align with the oil specification used in newer Volvo’s. The corrective action is to install an engine oil specification decal in the engine compartment, and update the Owners and Warranty Manuals per Tech Journal TJ 31443.
