Volvo 1990 240 Model
Checking oil level
The oil level should be checked each time the fuel tank is refilled. Be sure the oil level is maintained
between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause internal damage to the
engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks
represents approx. 1 quart (1 liter) of oil.
Changing oil filter
Replace the oil filter at every oil change. If the oil filter is changed separately, 1/2 US qt = 1/2 liter of oil
should be added.
To add oil or change oil
Add oil of the same kind as already used. See engine oil section.
Note: Allow engine to cool before changing
oil.
Coolant
Maintain fluid level between MAX and MIN marks on expansion tank. Mixture of 50 percent Volvo
antifreeze type C (blue-green) or similar and 50 percent water should be used. See "Coolant" section.
