See the previous page for oil specifications and
page 168
for oil volumes. Refer to the Warranty and
Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change intervals.
NOTE:
●
Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives.
●
Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance intervals except at owner
request and at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Checking and adding oil
The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This is especially important during
the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service.
●
The car should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked.
●
If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10-15 minutes after the engine has been switched off before
checking the oil.
Checking the oil
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint free rag.
2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level.
3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of
oil.
4. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
5. Switch off the engine and wait for at least 10-15 minutes and recheck the oil level. If necessary, add
oil until the level is near the mark.
CAUTION:
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil consumption.
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.
WARNING!
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe
surfaces.
