Hey everyone,

I'm looking to do my first DIY oil change on my 2020 Volvo S60 T5 Momentum. I've heard these newer Drive-E engines have specific oil requirements. Can anyone confirm what type of synthetic oil I should be using? Is it 0W-20 with a specific Volvo spec?

Also, what's the typical oil capacity for this model? I want to make sure I buy enough. Any tips or tricks for a first-timer would be greatly appreciated!
