Oil Pressure; Oil Filter; Checking The Oil Level - Volvo FM Handbook

Oil pressure

The symbol is shown when the required oil pressure
cannot be reached.
The symbol is shown together with a white
information lamp when the gearbox main pressure is
low to allow the engine's maximum torque. The
vehicle can still be driven, but the engine torque is
limited. Contact a Volvo workshop. If the symbol is
shown together with a red warning lamp, stop
immediately and investigate the fault.

Oil filter

The symbol is shown together with a yellow warning
lamp. Contact a Volvo workshop for filter change and
fault tracing.

Checking the oil level

Oil grade: Volvo Transmission oil 97342.
Check of the oil level must be done with the oil
temperature at 80–95 °C to ensure the correct oil level.
1 Clean round the oil filler cap and dipstick.
2 Park on a level surface, apply the parking brake
and start the engine.
3 Put the gear selector in N with the engine running
at approximately 600 rpm.
4 Wipe the dipstick with clean, lint-free paper.
5 Check the oil level on the dipstick, The level
should be between the markings on the dipstick.
Top up as necessary with oil of the right grade. If
the oil level is too high it may cause a high oil
temperature in the gearbox.
Pay attention to the purity of the oil!
