Engine oil
An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals and
warranty can be applied.
Volvo recommends:
If the engine oil cannot be checked on a regu-
lar 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 inter-
vals 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 characteristics, fuel consumption
and environmental impact of the car being
affected.
If engine oil of the prescribed grade and
viscosity is not used, engine related com-
ponents may become damaged. Volvo Car
Corporation disclaims any liability for any
such damage.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are
carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
