Yes — XC60, XC90, S60, V60, V90, XC40. Drive-E engine service, Aisin 8-speed transmission service, Haldex AWD rear differential service, oil separator/PCV replacement.
Volvo requires oil meeting VCC RBS0-2AE specification — typically 0W-20 or 5W-30 full synthetic LL-01 equivalent. Never use generic 5W-30 without verifying it meets Volvo spec. From $119.99 Euro spec oil change.
The Drive-E 2.0L engines (T5/T6) use an oil separator (PCV) to manage crankcase ventilation. When it fails, oil is drawn into the intake — blue smoke, oil consumption, and sometimes turbo damage. Common on 2015–2019 XC60/XC90. Diagnosed and replaced.
