Total and Elf are part of the same group - TotalFinaElf, or Total in short.

Could you remind me which make oil you have?
Volvo Belgium started with Castrol
Performance 5w30,
Magnatec Professional 5w30,
Professional Longtec 0w30

Volvo switched to Shell last year
Helix Plus S 5w40 (! while this was in the engine, the DPF misery started) Helix Ultra AC 0w30 (what's in it now, also called Ultra AS 0W-30)
