Page 6:43 Engine oil |
Oil quality:For Service SEViscosity:
1) Refers to stable surrounding temperature. 2) At very low temperature (below -20°C= -40°F) or when cold -starting difficulties are anticipated, multigrade oil SAE 5 W-20 or. SAE 5 W-30 is recommended. Capacity:excl. oil filter 6.0 litres (10.5 UK pints)incl. oil filter 6.5 litres (11.5 UK pints) Oil-level check:When refuellingOil change:After every 10.000 km (6000 miles) or at leastonce a year. With particulary unfavourable driving conditions, e.g., high ambient temper- atures, towing, steep hills, long distances at high speed, lengthy idling and short-distance driving in cold weather, the oil should be changed much more often (at least every 7500 km = 4500 miles or at least twice a year). During the running-in also after the first 1000 - 2000 km (600 - 1200 miles). |
Check the oil levelCheck the oil level when refuellin. It should be between the marks on the dipstick. It mustnever be allowed to go below the MIN mark, nor should it be above the MAX mark, other- wise abnormal oil consumption will result. The distance between the marks on the dipstick corresponds to about 2 litres (4 pints) Note! Always wipe the dipstick before check- ing the oil level. |
Draining the engine oilto drain the oil, remove the plug in the bottomof the engine sump. The oil should be drained after driving when it is still warm. CAUTION The oil may be very hot |
MAX MIN |
Topping-up with engine oilsame type of oil already used in the engine.Note! Do not top-up toomuch, otherwise there will be abnormal oil consumption. |
Changing the oil filterChange the oil filter when changing the oil inthe enging. Scrap the old filter. Should only the filter need to be replaced, add about 1/2 litre (1 pint) oil to the engine. |

Gearbox with overdrive (type M46)The oil should be up to the level plug. The same oil lubricates both thegearbox and the overdrive. The oil is drained by removing the drain plug. This should be done after driving when the oil is still warm. CAUTION! The oil may be very hot. Oil is Added trough the level/filler hole. Make sure that the oil runs over into the overdrive. Oil quality: ATF-oil type F or. G (all the year round). Capacity: 2.3 litres (4.0 UK pints) Oil-level check: Every 10 000 km (6000 miles). Oil change: Only after the first 1000 - 2000 km (600 - 1200 miles). |
Automatic transmission (BW55)Check the oil level with the car on level ground and with the engine idling. Slowly move the selector lever to all gear positions, and then to position P/ Wait 2 minutes before checking the oil level. As the illustration above shows, the dipstick has two marks: A warm transmission oil-normal operating temperature B cold transmission oil-oil temperature immediately after staring the engine Wipe the dipstick with a nylon cloth, paper or chamois leather. Cau- tion! The oil can be very hot. Do not use rags which leave tufts on the dipstick. Top-up through the dipstick holder pipe. Do not add much oil. Excessive oil can cause oil ejection. Too low an oil level, particularly in cold weather, can cause malfunctiong. Oil quality: ATF-oil, Type F or G (all the year round). Capacity: 6,5 litres (11,5 UK pints Oil-level check: Every 10 000 km (6000 miles) or at least every 6 months Oil change: Normally not required. On vehicles used in severe driving, the oil, however, should be changed by an authorized Volvo workshop every 40 000 km (24 000 miles). |
Page 6:45 Final drive oil |
Oil quality:API-GL-5 (MIL-L-2105 B or C).Cars with limited slip differential should have a final drive oil provided with a special additive Viscosity:
1) Refers to stable ambient temperatures. |
Drain plug | Level / filler plug |
Final driveThe level is checkedby unscrewing the level plug. The oil should be up to the level of the hole. Top up as required through the same hole. To drain unscrew the drain plug. Caition! Th e oil may be very hot. |
Page 6:46 Power-assisted steering, clutch and brake fluids |
Power-assisted steeringThe oil level should be above the MIN mark.Oil quality: ATF-oil Oil capacity: 1,2 litres (2.0 UK pints) Oil-level check: Every 10 000 km (6000 miles) Oil change: Not needed |
Carburettor (B27A)The oil level should be uo to about 6 mm (¼")from the edge of the centre spindle. Oil quality: SAE 10 W-40 Oil capacity: 4.5 cc Oil-level check: Every 10 000 km (6000 miles) Oil change: not needed |
Brake fluid/Clutch fluidThe oil level should be between the MIN andMAX marks on the dipstick. Fluid type: Brake fluis Quality: DOT 4 Fluid volume: 0,4 l. (1 UK pint) (Brake sytem) 0,2 l (0,5 UK pint) (Clutch system' Fluid/level check: When refuelling Fluid change: Every third year. The brake fluid must be changed every year on cars fitted with a spoiler. With continuous driving where the brakes are used very often, e.g., hill climbing, etc., the brake fluid should be changed once a year. The fluid change is not related to any 10 000 km (6000 miles) service but should be done in connection with a service visit to your Volvo workshop. |
Page 6:47 Body lubrication |
Lubricant:Use lubricant according to the table under theadjacent illustration. Lubrication intervals:If you lubricate the body once a year, you will avoid possible rattle and unnecessary wear. The hings on the bonnet, doors and boot lid must be lubricated every 10 000 km (60000 miles) Note!During the wintertime, the locks in the doorhandles and boot lid should be treated with a reliables anti-freeze to prevent them from freez- ing up. |

Page 6:48 Coolant |
Coolant compositionNever add only water!Use the year round a mixture of 50 % Volvo anti-freeze and 50 % water. The anti-freeze prevents rusting in the sum- mertime and freezing in the wintertime. The car is supplied from the factory with a coolant which protects against frost down to -35°C (-31°F) Cooling system capacity:The cooling system holds 10,9 litres (19.0 UKpints). Level check:Check the coolant level when refuelling.Coolant change:The coolant should be changed every thirdautumm providing that the cooling system con- tains 50 % Volvo anti-freeze and 50% water. Otherwise the coolant should be changed more frequently. |
Drain cock |
Checking coolant levelThe collant level should betweeen the MAXand MIN marks on the expansion tank. Add coolant when the level has dropped to the MIN mark, Unscrew the expansion tank cap slowly if the engine is hot in order to allow any excess pres- sure to escape. |
Changing coolantDraining1 Move the heater control to WARM 2 Remove the capp from the expansion tank 3 Open the cocks on both sides of the engine block 4 Disconnect the lower hose at the radiator Filling 5 Close the cocks and connect the hose (see points 3 and 4 above) 6 Fill the expansion tank to Max or a bit over 7 Warm up the engine and check that the cooling system is not leaking and continue adding coolant until the level reaches the MAX mark. |
Page 6:49 Drive belts (fan belts) |
Checking the belt tensionUnder normal force of the thumb, it should bepossible to depress the belts midway 5 - 10 mm (3/8"). New belts should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted after having been run 1000 - 2000 km (600 - 1200 miles). Checking belt conditionCheck regularly to make sure that the belts arein good condition and are clean. Worn or soil- ed belts can cause poor cooling and poor alternator output as well as less effective power-assisted steering and air conditioning. Replacement and adjustmentBelts should be replaced and adjusted by aVolvo workshop, If either belt 1 or 2 has to be replaced, then both must be changed at the same time. |
