I went to Funk Brothers after just moving into the area. They indicated I could come in for an oil change in the next morning and get right in for an oil change and told me it would be over an hour when I arrived the next day. I brought Mobil 1 0w-30 for my 2004 Volvo S40 and the owner told me he couldn't change the oil because it wasn't recommended by the manufacturer. I subsequently explained to him that it was approved for all of the Volvo specifications and showed him the documentation. He went on to indicate the technolgy reasons that it could not be allowed for the application which was incorrect. I happen to be an engineer in the lubricants industry and his explanation was blatantly incorrect. It makes me believe that he just makes up recommendations in other even more important areas that I would worry about as a customer. If the owner reads the reviews, I would recommend that he read about motor oils and he will soon learn that Mobil 1 0w-30 is fit for the Volvo application. He might also consider calling Volvo to educate himself. Regardless, he is clearly more worried about taking people's money because I brought my own oil than doing what is correct.
I suggest you read through the information available before you make false comments about us. Especially when one is working in your best interest. We refuse to put the wrong oil in your car. You brought in 0w30 as you stated in your review. Per Volvo and their website, your car needs 5w-30. This is SPECIFICALLY STATED FROM VOLVO PER THIS LINK ON THEIR SITE. (see page 115) http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2004/2004_s40-v40/04sv40_08b.htm Its also states that the wrong viscosity can damage your car! We take your car and its health very seriously at Funk Brothers Auto. We suggest you do the same. good luck
