For further information concerning component
specifications see service information in Group 1, “Oil and
Filter Change Intervals for Volvo Components,” publication
number 175-60, “Approved Oils Lists, Volvo Components”,
Publication Number 175–61, and appropriate vendor

Change engine oil and filters. If required by customer,
take a sample of the oil for analysis.
Note: Make sure the oil type is correct and has the correct
viscosity. The two are not the same and are equally
important in giving the right protection for the engine.
Oil Change
WARNING
Take precautions when draining the oil. Wear gloves
and let the engine cool down before draining. Serious
burns can result from contact with a hot engine or hot
engine oil.
WARNING
Use rubber gloves when handling used oil. Wash
skin thoroughly if it comes in contact with used oil.
Prolonged contact with used engine oil may be harmful.
It is important to drain as much oil as possible. Try to
change oil immediately after driving, when the oil is warm.
Always replace the oil filters when changing oil.
Note: Always dispose of oil according to Federal and
local regulations. Used oil disposed of inappropriately
can contaminate nature, waterways, community drinking
water and kills wildlife.
