pg. 58 Lubrication

Chassis maintenance

To simplify maintenance, your Volvo has been equipped with ball joints, steering rods and propeller

shafts that do not require regular lubrication.

Points that normally require lubricating have been packed with very durable grease at the factory and

then carefully sealed, eliminating the need for subsequent lubrication.

Lubricate body

To avoid rattles and unnecessary wear, the body should be lubricated once a year. Hinges on hood, doors

and trunk lid as well as door stops should be lubricated every 7,500 miles (12,500 km). During winter,

locks in the doors and trunk lid should be treated with special anti-freeze lubricant to prevent freezing.
