Checking the engine oil

The oil level should be checked at regular inter-

vals, particularly during the period up to the

first scheduled maintenance service.

•

See page 298 for oil specifications.

•

Refer to the Warranty and Service Records

Information booklet for information on the

oil change intervals.

Volvo recommends Castrol oil products.

CAUTION

•

Not checking the oil level regularly can

result in serious engine damage if the oil

level becomes too low.

•

Oil that is lower than the specified qual-

ity can damage the engine.

•

Volvo does not recommend the use of

oil additives.

•

Always add oil of the same type and

viscosity as already used.

•

Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This

could cause an increase in oil consump-

tion.

The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX

marks on the dipstick

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. The level must be between the

MIN and MAX marks.

3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to

the MIN mark, add approximately

0.5 US quarts (0.5 liters) of oil.

4. Recheck the level and add more oil if nec-

essary until the level is near the MAX mark.
