4 Carburettors
At each oil change check that the oil level
i n the centre spindle of the carburettors
i s about 6 mm (1/4") from the top of the
spindle. If it is not, fill up with oil ATF Type
A (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
The carburettors are adjusted and tested
i n a test bench at the factory with a CO-
gauge. No adjustment of the carburettors
i s required other than when carrying out
repairs to them.
5-6 Gearbox M 400
The oil in the gearbox should be checked
after every 10 000 km (6000 miles). The oil
l evel should be up to the filler hole. If
necessary top up with the recommended
oil.
After every 40 000 km (25000 miles) the
oil in the gearbox should be changed.
I n the case of a new or reconditioned
gearbox the oil should also be changed
after the first 5000 km (3000 miles) and the
gearbox thoroughly flushed with the same
type of oil subsequently used. The old oil
should be drained off immediately after
the vehicle has been run while the oil is
still warm.
7-8 Gearbox; with overdrive M 410
For cars fitted with an overdrive, the oil
l evel
should be checked and the oil
changed parallel with similar procedure
for the gearbox. The overdrive and the
gearbox have a common oil level and oil
filler hole. Make sure when topping-up
that the oil runs over into the overdrive.
The oil is drained out by removing the
gearbox drain plug and the cap for the
overdrive oil strainer. At each oil change
the oil filter of the overdrive should be
cleaned. This should be done by a Volvo
workshop.
