17 Oil filter
The engine is fitted with a full-flow type
oil filter, which means that all the oil pas-
ses through the filter on its way from the
oil pump to the various lubricating points.
I mpurities in the oil are collected in the
filter and gradually block it. For this rea-
son, the filter must be changed every
10 000 km (6 000 miles). Scrap the old filter
then. If the oil filter is replaced without the
engine oil being changed, the engine
should be topped up with 0,5 litre (1 pint)
of oil.
18 Fuel filter (B 30 A)
The fuel filter should be cleaned after
every 10 000 km (6000 miles). Loosen the
screw, remove the cover and the filter and
clean them. Check that the gasket is not
damaged and make sure that it seals pro-
perly when the plug with filter is re-fitted.
19 Fuel filter (B 30 E)
The fuel filter is located under the car
close to the fuel tank. This filter is to be
changed after every 20 000 km (12000
miles). The filter is replaced as one com-
plete unit.
Clean the fuel lines and the surrounding
components
before
carrying
out
the
change. When changing the filter, pinch
the fuel lines to prevent fuel from running
out. Notice when fitting the new filter that
the arrow on the filter housing is to point
i n the direction of flow. Filter replace-
ment should be carried out by an authori-
zed Volvo workshop.
