Engine oil
Volvo recommends:
If the engine oil is not checked regularly and the level becomes low, this could cause serious engine damage.
Important
To satisfy the requirements for the engine's service intervals, all engines are factory-filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil. Great care has been put into the choice of oil, with consideration given to service life, startability, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
For the recommended service intervals to apply, an approved engine oil must be used. Only use the prescribed oil grade to top off or change the oil. Otherwise, there is a risk of the vehicle's service life, startability, fuel consumption and environmental impact being affected.
Failure to use engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity could cause damage to engine-related components. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims warranty liability for such type of damage.
Volvo recommends entrusting oil changes to an authorized Volvo workshop.
Volvo uses different systems to warn if the oil level is too low/high or the oil pressure is low. On engine variants with an oil pressure sensor, a warning symbol is displayed in the instrument panel when oil pressure is low 
. On engine variants with an oil level sensor, the 
warning symbol in the instrument panel and display messages are used to alert the driver. Some engine variants have both systems. Contact a Volvo retailer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter according to the schedule specified in the Warranty and Maintenance Records Information booklet. Oils of a higher grade than that specified may be used. If the vehicle is driven in adverse conditions, Volvo recommends using an oil with a higher grade than that specified.
