Engine oil
Check the engine oil level every time you refuel
your car
It is particularly important to check the oil during the running-in period.
Park the car on a level surface and wait at least 3 minutes after the
engine has been switched off so that the oil has sufficient time to return
to the sump. The most reliable measurement can be obtained with a
cold engine before it is started. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth.
The oil level should lie within the marked area of the stick.
The difference between the MAX and MIN markings represents approx.
1 litre.
Top up with oil if necessary
Use the same type of oil as that already in the engine. Refer to the
following page.
After an oil change, the oil level will lie between the two marks on the
dipstick, i.e. halfway between the MAX and MIN markings, which is
entirely normal. Do not add too much oil as this will result in excessive
oil consumption.
NOTE! Screw down the oil filler cap after filling with oil.

Draining the engine oil
The drain plug is located at the rear of the oil sump.
Drain the oil when it is warm.
WARNING!
Do not spill oil on the exhaust pipe. Fire risk!
Change the oil filter together with the engine oil
First remove the protective shield under the engine, then remove the old
filter. Fit a new filter in accordance with the instructions on the filter.
WARNING!
The oil may be very hot.
When you replace the oil, remember that prolonged and repeated
contact with engine oil can lead to serious skin disorder
Environment: If you change the oil yourself ensure that waste oil
and the filter are disposed of properly. Your Volvo dealer can help you.
