Changing engine oil and oil filter

Refer to the Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change
intervals. See page 187
Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives.
Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance intervals except at owner
request and at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.

Checking and adding oil

The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This is especially important during
the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service.
CAUTION!
Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too
low.
Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.
The car should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked.
