As per my post above, it may be because the correct oil was used at the time of the first service. As I said, the oil grades for some engines were changed in early 2024 to new grades and therefore that may be why they are are using the new grade and specification for your most recent service, so nothing to worry about....
This was done in the case of the DV5 engines to lessen the stress on the cam chain at cold starts, so using 5w30 rather than 0w30 means it has a thicker viscosity, so will cling more to the engine components and the cam chain specifically in this case.
I would like to know if my car has a 7mm or an 8mm timing chain.
VIN is VF7DDYHT2MJ668334
@Pallas:
@Emil1010: (You also have 2 aftersales recalls for this vehicle! I suggest you speak to your dealer about them - Driveshaft breakage and Engine Management Calibration - outstanding from 2021).
@jeroen5: see my post above - I don't have time to look up everyone's cars when I have already stated the chain type for vehicles earlier than late 2023:
But, you do have outstanding work overdue, so talk to your dealer, it will be free. This is another reason to get your vehicle dealer-serviced so you don't miss important updates that you won't get from an independent!
