This new specification is called
Volvo Drain Specification-3
(VDS-3)
.
VDS-3
consists
of still stricter requirements for piston cleanness and
cylinder polishing compared to
VDS-2
, to ensure the
engines' durability and reliability. In
VDS-3
, the
quality requirement for
ACEA E7
is included, which
ensures the performance requirements not covered by
VDS-3
field test.
VDS-3
comprises not only the field
test of Volvo D12 engines, but also the most strict
engine requirements covered by the
ACEA E7
requirement specification.
VDS-3
also covers the same viscosity classes as
VDS-2
, i.e.
5W-30
,
5W-40
,
10W-30
,
10W-40
,
15W-30
and
15W-40
. VDS and VDS-2 oils can of
course be used in Euro 3 engines as well but with
shorter oil change intervals.
Oil grade
VDS, VDS-2, VDS-3
alternatively
API CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4
or
ACEA E2, E3, E4, E5, E7
Note that the combination of several of the above
mentioned qualities is required in some cases.
Note!
Extra oil additives must not be used.
This includes engine and metal
treatment additives added to the
engine oil.
Viscosity
The viscosity is selected in accordance with the table.
The temperature values refer to constant ambient
temperatures.
1) Only VDS-2 or VDS-3 oils.
VDS-3 approved oils in viscosity class
5W-30
can be
used up to
+30 °C
.
