DRAINING THE OIL:

Drain the oil after driving while the oil is still warm.

WARNING! The oil may be very hot.

If you change the engine oil and filter yourself, your Volvo retailer can assist you in disposing of the used oil. Engine oil can be harmful to your skin - gloves should be worn when performing this work.

TO ADD OR CHANGE OIL

Add oil of the same kind as already used.
Capacity (including filter): 5.7 US qts (5.4 liters).

The oil filter should he replaced at every oil change.
