Engine oil
Checking and changing
engine oil and filter
Certain engine variants have an engine oil decal
on the bonnet. See page 166 for the location of
the decal. The specification on the decal
indicates what grade and viscosity the engine
oil should have. Specifications for all engine
variants are found on page 168.
The Service and Warranty Booklet specifies
suitable intervals for changing the oil and oil
filter. Shorter intervals are recommended if
driving in adverse conditions. See page 155.
Check the level of engine oil and change the oil
regularly.
Checking the oil level in a new car is especially
important before the first scheduled oil change.
The Service and Warranty Booklet specifies the
odometer readings for oil changes.
Volvo recommends checking the oil level every
2500 km. The most accurate measurements are
made on a cold engine before starting. The
measurement will be inaccurate if taken
immediately after the engine is switched off.
The dipstick will indicate that the level is too
low because the oil has not had time to flow
down into the oil sump.
NOTE! See recommended oil grade, viscosity
and capacities on page 171.
The oil level should fall within the
markings on the dipstick.
Important!
Always use oil of the recommended grade
and correct viscosity.
Never use oil additives. These can damage
the engine.
If the system is topped up with a different
oil, contact the nearest Volvo workshop for
servicing.
Checking the oil in a cold engine:
Wipe the dipstick clean before checking the
level.
Check the oil level using the dipstick.
The oil level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start
by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil.
Top up until the oil level is nearer the MAX
than the MIN mark on the dipstick.
See page 171 for volumes.
Checking the oil in a warm engine:
Park the car on a level surface, switch off
the engine and wait 10-15 minutes to give
the oil time to run back down to the sump.
Wipe the dipstick clean before checking the
level.
Check the oil level using the dipstick. The
oil level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
If the level is close to the MIN mark, start
by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up
until the oil level is nearer the MAX than
the MIN mark on the dipstick. See
page 171 for volumes.
Important!
Never fill above the MAX mark. Oil con-
sumption may increase if too much oil is
poured into the engine.
WARNING!
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani-
fold due to the risk of fire.
Certain engine variants have an oil level sensor;
see page 35 for the display text in the combined
instrument panel.
