Oil reservoir for power steering fluid
Power steering
The dipstick has different ratings for warm and cold oil. The oil level
before the engine is started must never be higher than the COLD
mark. After the oil has warmed up because the car has been driven, the
level may not be higher than the HOT mark. Top up when the level is
at the ADD mark.
Oil quality: ATF oil.
Check the level at every service. There is no need to change the oil.
Brake and clutch fluid
The brake and clutch fluid share the same reservoir.
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX markings.
Fluid type: Brake fluid pref. DOT 4+ (or DOT 4).
Check the level regularly.
Fluid change every second year.
Note: The fluid should be changed every year if the brakes are used
frequently and severely (e.g. when driving in mountainous areas) or if
the car is run in tropical regions with high humidity. The fluid change
is not included in any service but you should ensure that it is carried
out when the car is taken for service to a Volvo dealer.
