time to run back to the sump. For capacities,
see page 283 and onwards.
Checking with a cold engine
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the level using the dipstick. It must
be between the MIN and MAX marks.
3. If the level is close to the MIN mark, start
by topping up with 0.5 litres of oil. Top up
until the level is nearer to MAX than MIN
on the dipstick.
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 manifold
due to the risk of fire.
Checking with a warm engine
1. Wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the oil level using the dipstick.

Coolant
Checking and topping up the coolant
When topping up the coolant, follow the
instructions on the packaging. It is important
that the mixture of coolant concentrate and
water is correct for the prevailing weather con-
ditions. Never top up with water only. The risk
of freezing increases with both too little and too
much coolant concentrate. For capacities, see
page 283.
IMPORTANT
A high content of chlorine, chlorides
and other salts may cause corrosion in
the cooling system.
Always use coolant with anti-corrosion
agent as recommended by Volvo.
Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50%
water and 50% coolant.
Mix the coolant with approved quality
tap water. In the event of any doubt
about water quality, used ready-mixed
coolant in accordance with Volvo rec-
ommendations.
When changing coolant/replacing cool-
ing system components, flush the cool-
ing system clean with approved quality
tap water or flush with ready-mixed
coolant.
The engine must only be run with a well-
filled cooling system. High tempera-
tures can occur, causing a risk of dam-
age (cracks) to the cylinder head.
For capacities and for standards regarding
water quality, see page 283.
Check the coolant regularly
The level must lie between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion tank. If the system is
