If the engine oil is not checked regularly and the
level becomes low, this could cause serious
engine damage.
CAUTION
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's
service intervals, all engines are factory-filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil.
Great care has been put into the choice of oil,
with consideration given to service life, starta-
bility, fuel consumption and environmental
impact.
For the recommended service intervals to
apply, an approved engine oil must be used.
Only use the prescribed oil grade to top off or
change the oil. Otherwise, there is a risk of
the vehicle's service life, startability, fuel con-
sumption and environmental impact being
affected.
Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed
grade and viscosity could cause damage to
engine-related components. Volvo Car Corpo-
ration disclaims warranty liability for such type
of damage.
Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes to
an authorized Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil
level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low. On
engine variants with an oil pressure sensor, a
warning symbol is displayed in the instrument
panel when oil pressure is low
. On engine
variants with an oil level sensor, the
warn-
ing symbol in the instrument panel and display
messages are used to alert the driver. Some
engine variants have both systems. Contact a
Volvo retailer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter according to
the schedule specified in the Warranty and Main-
tenance Records Information booklet. Oils of a
higher grade than that specified may be used. If
the vehicle is driven in adverse conditions, Volvo
recommends using an oil with a higher grade
than that specified.
