Checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked every time the car is refuelled. This
is especially important during the period up to the first service.
CAUTION: Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious
engine damage if the oil level becomes too low.
Park the car on a level surface and wait for at least 3 minutes after the
engine has been switched off. Be sure the oil level is maintained
between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. If oil is added, it
should reach the MAX mark on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause
internal damage to the engine and overfilling can result in high oil
consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks represents
approx. 1.6 US qts (1.5 liters). The oil should preferably be checked
when cold, before the engine has been started.
NOTE: The engine must be stopped when checking the oil.
Draining the oil
Drain the oil after driving while it is still warm.
WARNING!
The oil may be very hot.
If you change the engine oil and filter yourself, your Volvo retailer can
assist you in disposing of the used oil. Engine oil can be harmful to your
skin - gloves should be worn when performing this work.
To add or change oil
Add oil of the same kind as already used.
Capacity (including filter): 6.2 US qts (5.8 liters).
The oil filter should be replaced at every oil change.
WARNING! Oil spilled on a hot exhaust pipe constitutes a fire risk.
