Always entrust brake fluid changing to a Volvo dealer.
Change brake fluid every year when driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving etc.)
and if the car is equipped with a non factory air dam.
pg. 73 Body Lubrication
To simplify maintenance, your Volvo has been equipped with ball joints steering rods and propeller
shafts that do not require regular lubrication Points that normally require lubricating have been packed
with very durable grease at the factory and then carefully sealed, eliminating the need for subsequent
lubrication.
Lubricate body
To avoid rattles and unnecessary wear, the body should be lubricated once a year. Hinges on hood, doors
and trunk lid as well as door stops should be lubricated every 10,000 miles (16,000 km).
