Volvo 1990 240 Model

WARNING! The oil may be very

hot!

Do not use rags which can leave lint on the dipstick.

The transmission is topped up via the dipstick tube.

The space between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick corresponds to 0.5 US qts (0.5 liter). Do

not fill the transmission with too much oil, since this can result in oil being ejected from the

transmission.

Too little oil, on the other hand, can negatively affect transmission operation, particularly in very cold

weather.
