Checking The Oil Level - Volvo CROSS COUNTRY 2011 Owner's Manual

2001 VOLVO Cross Country
Oil and oil filter changes should be made at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) intervals.
Extra oil additives must not be used unless advised by an authorized Volvo retailer. Synthetic oil is
not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance service intervals.
The API Service Symbol
The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:
The top half describes the oil's performance level.
The center identifies the oil's viscosity.
The bottom half tells whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving proper ties in a standard
test in comparison to a reference oil.
pg. 130 Engine oil

Checking the oil level

The oil level should be checked every time the car is refueled. 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.
