Can I use 92 when I've always been using 95?

Is it normal for the 6AT to have jerky movements at low speed? Or is it because I have set it to prioritize fuel economy?

Is there a significant difference between the 17, 18, and 19 models of T3 and T4? Can an expert help clarify this?

Does anyone with a V40 have a source for chassis bushings? I want to buy them myself and then find a repair shop to replace them.

What could cause the engine temperature to suddenly rise while in AC mode during a traffic jam in summer?

I bought a 2017 V40 and recently the engine sounds like a tractor when running. Does anyone know what might be going on? The repair shop said it might be a cylinder scoring issue, but they're not sure.

Does anyone else experience wind coming through the headliner when the AC is on (especially when the fan speed increases)? I can feel a noticeable draft when I touch the driver's side seal. There's also a whistling sound when the windows are closed. Is there a car owners' group? I'd like to join.

How many kilometers do you guys usually change your brake pads? Yesterday, during maintenance, the technician said the brake pads need to be replaced, but I've only driven 40,000 kilometers. Shouldn't need to change them yet, right?

I have a 2015 CC, and it's very quiet at idle. But when I hit 70 km/h, the engine noise gets really loud. I'm not sure if it's coming from the engine or the chassis. I have to turn up the music to cover it up. I've already changed the oil in the chassis, but it didn't help. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal for a 4WD to be like this?

The car is a 2015 model and has run 99,000 kilometers. The warning light turned on, and you replaced 4 ignition coils and 4 spark plugs. After some time, the light came on again, and the engine shakes when starting, but it's still drivable, though the light remains on. What's causing this issue?

Not sure why, but 1. Why do Volvo and Jaguar Land Rover car keys look so similar? [grin] 2. Why do Volvo and Jaguar Land Rover have the same folding method for side mirrors? [facepalm]

I have a 2018 V40, and when I start it, the steering wheel and the center console panel shake a lot, especially when I turn on the air conditioning. It's only run about 50,000 kilometers. It takes quite a while for the shaking to reduce. What could be the problem? Has anyone else experienced this?

I just bought a second-hand car and after driving it for less than 1000 kilometers, it consumed 2.5 liters of engine oil (it's a 5-cylinder car registered in 2014). I'm not sure if any of you experience this oil consumption. Should I switch the engine oil from Shell 0W-40? What should I do, any advice for a budget-friendly solution?

Is the inside of the V40 exhaust pipe black, like soot? Could it be too much carbon buildup?

How to use the V40's automatic parking feature? I've never used it before. Can it park in any type of parking space, or does it have to be a standard marked space? I'm a bit confused.
