MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Engine oil

An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals and war-
ranty can be applied.
Volvo recommends:
588
If the engine oil cannot be checked on a regular
basis and the level falls too low, there is a risk
that this will cause serious damage to the engine.
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the
engine's service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals can
be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
for both filling and oil change, otherwise there
is a risk of the service life, starting characte-
ristics, fuel consumption and environmental
impact of the car being affected.
If engine oil of the prescribed grade and vis-
cosity is not used, engine related components
may become damaged. Volvo Car Corporation
disclaims any liability for any such damage.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are car-
ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn about the
oil level if it is too low/high, or in the event of low
oil pressure. Certain engine variants have an oil
pressure sensor, and then the driver display's
warning symbol for low oil pressure
used. Other variants have an oil level sensor,
when the driver is informed via the driver display's
warning symbol and display texts. Certain
variants have both systems. Contact a Volvo
dealer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter in accordance
with the intervals specified in the Service and
Warranty Booklet. Using oil of a higher than
specified grade is permitted. If the car is driven in
adverse conditions, Volvo recommends using an
oil of a higher grade than the one specified.
