Always dispose of all lubricants (motor oil,
coolant, gear box oils, etc.) and filters
according to Federal or local regulations.
Used oil disposed of in nature or waterways
contaminates our drinking water and kills
wildlife.
WARNING
Prolonged contact with used engine oil may
be harmful. Use rubber gloves when handling
used oil. Wash skin thoroughly if it comes in
contact with used oil.
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 the oil.

WARNING
Hot oil can cause severe burns. DO NOT
allow hot oil to contact the skin. When
changing oil, wear protective gloves.
CAUTION
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.
Clean around the oil filter housing and
remove the filters using the oil filter
wrench or the oil filter socket.
FIGURE 5: OIL FILTER WRENCH
Prefill the new oil filters with approved
engine oil. Also, lubricate the filter gaskets
with engine oil (1). Hand tighten the oil
filters until they contact the sealing surface
of the oil filter housing (2). Manually
tighten the oil filters an additional ¾ to 1
full turn (3).
