Checking the engine oil
The oil level should be checked every time the
vehicle is refueled. This is especially important
during the period up to the first scheduled
maintenance service.
•
See page 276 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.
