Check the oil level
Volvo recommends that the oil level is checked
every 2500 km.
Checking the engine oil level is especially
important before the first scheduled oil change.
Park the car on a level surface and wait at least
5 minutes after switching off the engine so that
the oil has time to run back to the oil sump.
The most accurate measurement is made on a
cold engine before starting. Wipe the dipstick
before checking.
R version
The S60-R is also equipped with a system
which displays warning messages in the
combined instrument panel when the engine oil
level is too low.
When the orange warning triangle and the
warning message "OIL LEVEL LOW – FILL
OIL" are displayed, top up with one litre of oil.
After filling, check that the oil level is within
the markings on the dipstick before restarting
the engine.
When the red warning triangle and the warning
message "OIL LEVEL LOW – STOP
SAFELY/- STOP ENGINE/- SEE MANUAL"
are displayed, top up with at least one litre of oil
but no more than 1.5 litres.
After filling, check that the oil level is within
the markings on the dipstick before restarting
the engine.
For more information regarding oil level
checking for the R version, see page 33.
The distance between the MAX and MIN marks
on the dipstick corresponds to approximately
1.5 litres for petrol engines* and approx. 2.0
litres for diesel engines.
If the oil level is at MIN, top up with:
Cold engine: 1 litre.
Warm engine: 0.5 litre.
MIN MAX
WARNING!
Do not spill oil on the hot exhaust pipes.
Rise of fire!
