MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

If the engine oil cannot be checked on a regu-

lar basis and the level falls too low, there is a

risk that this will cause serious damage to the

engine.

Engine oil

IMPORTANT

An approved engine oil must be used in order

that the recommended service intervals and

warranty can be applied.

In order to fulfil the requirements for the

engine'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

consumption and environmental impact.

NOTE

It is not intended that the decals illustrated

in the owner's manual should be exact rep-

licas of those in the car. They are included

to show their approximate appearance and

locations in the car. The information that

applies to your particular car can be found

on the decal on the car.

An approved engine oil must be used in

order that the recommended service inter-

vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed

grade of oil for both filling and oil change,

otherwise there is a risk of the service life,

starting characteristics, fuel consumption

and environmental impact of the car being

affected.

Location of warning decal for the engine compart-

ment. The appearance of the engine compartment

may differ depending on model and engine variant.

If engine oil of the prescribed grade and

viscosity is not used, engine related com-

ponents may become damaged. Volvo dis-

claims any liability for any such damage.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are

carried out at an authorised Volvo work-

See oil level in the centre display

Change the engine oil and oil filter in accord-

ance with the intervals specified in the Service

and Warranty Booklet. Using oil of a higher

than specified grade is permitted. If the car is

driven in adverse conditions, Volvo recom-

mends using an oil of a higher grade than the

one specified.

NOTE

If the right conditions for measuring the oil

level (time after engine shutdown, the car's

inclination, outside temperature, etc.) are

not met, then the message No value

available will be shown in the centre dis-

play. This does not mean that there is

something wrong in the car's systems.
