In some cases, oil may need to be topped up between service intervals.
Action with regard to engine oil level does not need to be taken until a message is shown in the driver display.
Warning
If this symbol is shown together with the message Engine oil level Service required, visit a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended. The oil level may be too high.
Important
If this symbol is shown together with a message about low oil level, such as Engine oil level low Refill 1 litre for example, then only fill the volume specified, e.g. 1 litre.
Warning
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold due to the risk of fire.
Check the oil level
Open the Car status app from the app view in the centre display.
Press the Status button to show the oil level.
The oil level is checked using the electronic oil level gauge in the centre display when the engine is switched off.
Note
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The car must have been driven approx. 30 km and have been stationary for 5 minutes with the engine switched off and on level ground before the oil level indication is correct.
Note
If the right conditions for measuring the oil level (time after engine shutdown, the car's inclination, outside temperature, etc.) are not met, then the message No values available will be shown in the centre display. This does not mean that there is something wrong in the car's systems.
