To avoid rattles and unnecessary wear, the body should be lubricated at regular service intervals. This
should be done by an authorized Volvo retailer.

Checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked every time the car is refuelled. This is especially important during the
engine break-in period (up to the first service).
CAUTION : Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil
becomes too low.
Park the car on a level surface and wait for at least 3 minutes after the engine has been switched off. Be
sure the oil level is maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Low oil level can
cause internal damage to the engine and over-filling can result in high oil consumption. The distance
between the dipstick marks represents approx. 1 US qts (1 liter)*. The oil should preferably be checked
when cold, before the engine has been started.
Approx. 1 US qt. (1 liter)
NOTE: The engine must be stopped when checking the oil.
