Checking and Draining Oil
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.
Check the oil level through the top plug. The oil should be
level with the hole. Add oil if necessary.
Drain oil through the bottom plug. Drain oil immediately
after driving the vehicle, so that the oil is hot.
Note: Also check the rear axle ventilation for blockage.
Blockage can cause extreme pressure in the axle and
create leaks.

literature.
Note: Synthetic oil is not recommended for the Volvo
