MAINTENANCE
Maintenance services
Your Volvo has passed two major inspections before being delivered to you, according to Volvo
specifications. After being driven 600-1,200 miles (1,000-2,000 km), your car should be brought to the
Volvo dealer for a service inspection. Engine, manual transmission and rear axle oils will be changed at
this time.
Following this inspection, the maintenance inspections outlined in this book should be performed
every 7,500 miles (12,500 km), or every 3,750 miles (6,250 km) on Turbo models.
The extended maintenance inspection intervals make it even more advisable to follow this program.
Inspection and service should also be performed any time a malfunction is observed or suspected.
It is recommended that receipts for vehicle emission services be retained in the event that questions arise
concerning maintenance. See your "Maintenance Records Manual".
Maintenance inspection at 7,500 miles (12,500 km) intervals
Volvo advises you to follow the inspection program at 7,500 miles (12,500 km) intervals (3,750 miles or
6,250 km on Turbo models) which is outlined in the "Maintenance Records Manual". This maintenance
program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper functioning of your car over the next
inspection interval.
The maintenance inspections contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and
therefore must be performed by a qualified technician.
To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and
Accessories.
