Checking the oil
•
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-
free rag.
•
Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check
the oil level.
•
Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to
the MIN mark, add approximately
0.5 US quarts (0.5 liters) of oil.
•
Recheck the level and add more oil if nec-
essary until the level is near the MAX mark.
•
Oil level should be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.
CAUTION
•
Check the engine oil level regularly.
•
Never fill oil above the MAX mark or let
the oil level go below the MIN mark. This
could result in serious damage to the
engine.
•
Always add oil of the same type and
viscosity as already used.
•
Oil changes should be carried out by a
trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
