Adding engine oil

Filler pipe¹,²

It may be necessary to add engine oil between regularly scheduled services. No action is necessary with regard to engine oil level until a message appears in the instrument panel.

¹ Engines with an electronic oil level sensor do not have a dipstick.

² The layout of the engine compartment may vary depending on model and engine variant.

Engine Coolant

The coolant helps ensure that excess heat is distributed in the circuit in order to, for example, warm up the start battery or provide heating to the passenger compartment. To avoid deterioration of the cooling system, engine trouble, etc., only approved Volvo coolant should be used.

Recommended coolant: Volvo-approved premixed coolant. If concentrated coolant is used, mix with 50% water of acceptable quality (i.e. not salt water, etc.). Consult a Volvo retailer if you have any questions.
