Adverse driving conditions
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
• towing a caravan or trailer
• in mountainous regions
• at high speedsin temperatures colder than
–30
C or hotter than +40
C.
Also check the oil level more often if the car
is often driven short distances (less than
10 km) when temperatures are low
(below+5
C).
This can produce abnormally high oil temper-
ature or oil consumption.

IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the en-
gine’s service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service
life, starting characteristics, fuel consump-
tion and environmental impact. An ap-
proved engine oil must be used in order that
the recommended service intervals can be
applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
(see the engine compartment decal) for
both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting char-
acteristics, fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact. Volvo Car Corporation
disclaims all warranty liability if engine oil of
the prescribed grade and viscosity is not
used.
