Engine compartment decal for oil
grade
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is
permitted. Volvo recommends using an oil of
a higher grade than that specified on the de-
cal for adverse driving conditions. See
page 245.
Checking the engine oil and oil filter
Volvo recommends oil products.
Change the oil and replace the oil filter in ac-
cordance with the intervals specified in the
Service and Warranty Booklet.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of
low oil level or low oil pressure. Certain vari-
ants have an oil pressure sensor, and then a
lamp is used for oil pressure. Other variants
have an oil level sensor, and then the driver is
informed via the warning symbol in the centre
of the instrument unit as well as by display
texts. Certain models have both variants.
Contact an authorised Volvo dealer for more
information.
Checking the oil level in a new car is espe-
cially 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 2 500 km. The most accurate measure-
ments 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.
IMPORTANT
Always use oil of the prescribed grade, see
the engine compartment decal. Check the
oil level frequently and change the oil regu-
larly. The engine will be damaged if lower
grade oil is used or if the car is driven with
the oil level too low.
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’s service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service
life, starting characteristics, fuel consump-
tion and environmental impact. An ap-
proved engine oil must be used in order that
the recommended service intervals can be
applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
(see the engine compartment decal) for
both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting char-
acteristics, fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation
disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of
the prescribed grade and viscosity is not
used.
