4-5 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 (24 000 miles) the oil
i n the gearbox should be changed. In the
case of a new or reconditioned gearbox
the oil should also be changed after the
first 2500 km (1500 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.
6-7 Gearbox with overdrive M 410
For cars fitted with an overdrive, the oil
l evel should be checked and the oil chang-
ed 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 over-
drive should be cleaned. This should be
done by a Volvo workshop.
8 Automatic transmission BW 35
The oil in the automatic transmission should
normally not be changed but the oil level
should be checked every 10 000 km (6000
miles). The filler pipe with graduated dip-
stick is to be found under the bonnet just
i n front of the cowl.
NOTE. The dipstick has different gradua-
tion marks for a warm and cold transmis-
sion. When the oil level is being checked,
the car should be standing
l evel. With the
engine idling in position P, the level should
be between the upper and lower graduation
marks on the dipstick. When topping-up is
necessary, use only Automatic Transmission
Fluid, Type F.
I f this oil is not available, Type A or Dexron
may be used.
The dipstick should be wiped with a nylon
cloth, paper, etc. Cloths which leave fluff
on the dipstick must be avoided.
For cars used for hard driving, or in hilly
countries, etc., preventive service should
be carried out by an authorized Volvo work-
shop every 40 000 km (24000 miles).
