Engine Oil
General
Keep the engine oil at the proper level and
change it at the recommended intervals.
Always replace the oil filters at the same
time as when the oil is changed.
Always follow the oil change intervals and
use the oil types that are recommended
by the engine manufacturers. Oil change
intervals for Volvo engines are found on
page 62 and page 63. Viscosity and capacity
tables can be found beginning on page 142.
Other engine manufacturers have different
policies regarding their products and should
be consulted if a different change interval is
desired. Contact your Volvo Truck dealer for
more information.
For information on synthetic oil, see page 64.

Note: Always dispose of oil according
to Federal or local regulations. Used
oil disposed of in nature or waterways
contaminates our drinking water and kills
wildlife. Take all used oil to a recycling or
waste collection center.
