The 2008 Volvo S60 comes with either a 2.4 L 5-cylinder or a 2.5 L 5-cylinder engine, both requiring 5W-30 synthetic motor oil for temperatures under 104 F. The vehicle's oil capacity is 6.1 quarts with a filter, and the torque specification for the drain plug is 28 ft/lbs for both engine versions. The 5W-30 designation signifies the oil's viscosity at startup (5) and operating speeds (30). Proper oil maintenance is crucial for engine cleanliness and performance, so it should be changed regularly every 7,500 miles to prevent potential damage to the vehicle.
The 2008 Volvo S60 should use 5w-40 full synthetic motor oil as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
