Maintenance and service
Check the oil level
Volvo recommends that the oil level is checked
every 2500 km.
Checking the engine oil level is especially
important before the first scheduled oil change.
Park the car on a level surface and wait at least
5 minutes after switching off the engine so that
the oil has time to run back to the oil sump.
The most accurate measurement is made on a
cold engine before starting. Wipe the dipstick
before checking.

If the oil level is at MIN, top up with:
• cold engine - 1.0 litre
