62 Maintenance and Service
It is important to drain as much oil as possible. Try to change oil immediately
after driving, when the oil is warm. Always replace the oil filters when
changing oil.
Oil Filters Change
Hot oil can cause severe burns. DO NOT allow hot oil to contact the skin.
When changing oil, wear protective gloves.
Volvo-branded oil filters are designed to provide the proper level of filtration
and protection for Volvo engines. Filters that do not meet the same stringent
requirements may cause unsatisfactory results.
1. Coat the filter gasket with oil.
2. Install the filter and turn it by hand until the gasket makes contact with
the sealing surface.
3. Manually turn the filter an additional 3/4 to one full turn.
Checking Oil Level
DO NOT let the oil level fall below the marking on the dipstick. DO NOT
overfill so the level is above the upper marking on the dipstick. This could lead
to excessive oil temperature and/or poor crankcase breather performance.
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground before checking the oil level.
Wait five minutes after shutting off the engine, then proceed with checking oil.
