I have had Volvo's for years and have had 4 740's including the one I have now and I use nothing but Castrol 20w50 in all of them, yes even in the winter. Also I have 2 740's now with over 300,000 miles on them.

Oil type - 1991 Volvo 740 turbo?

Castrol 20w50. I have had two Volvo 740s and have been using it for years. In fact, my brother, sister, and father, all of whom drive Volvos, also use Castrol 20w50. While the oil type is important, it is equally (if not more) important to use Volvo (or Mann) filters consistently. I change my oil every 2,500 to 3,000 miles.
