Engine oil
Adverse driving conditions
Check the oil level more frequently for long
journeys:
towing a caravan or trailer.
in mountainous regions.
at high speeds.
in temperatures colder than -30 °C or
hotter than +40 °C.
shorter driving distances (shorter than
10 km) at low temperatures (under 5 °C).
This may result in abnormally high oil temper-
ature or oil consumption.
Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for
adverse driving conditions. It provides extra
protection for the engine.
Volvo recommends oil products.
Viscosity chart
IMPORTANT!
Always use the prescribed oil grade and
viscosity.
If an oil other than that prescribed has
been used, contact the local authorised
Volvo workshop immediately for service.
Do not use oil additives. These can
damage the engine.
