I am driving Volvo 760 turbodiesel for a few years,a I have notice that it spent too much synthetic oil and it is not so "strong" with it.Visually,it doesn`t fit for the old engines,so my question is following...is there any one of you who really now what is the original or the best type of oil for the "old" turbo diesel engines. regards to all and tks. in advance.
