Checking and filling with engine oil
The oil level is detected with the electronic oil level sensor.
See oil level in the centre display
The oil level can be shown in the centre display when the car is started. It should be checked regularly.
Press 
in the centre display.
in the centre display.Select Car status.
Different types of information about the car can be shown, including oil level.
Note
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained out. The car must have been driven approx. 30 km (approx. 20 miles) 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 value available will be shown in the centre display. This does not mean that there is something wrong in the car's systems.
Important
If this symbol is shown then the oil pressure may be too low. Stop the car as quickly as possible and have the car recovered to a workshop – an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Fill the engine oil
In some cases, oil may need to be topped up between service intervals. No action with regard to engine oil level needs to be taken until a message is shown in the driver display.
Warning
If the message Engine oil level Service required is shown then the oil level may be too high. Visit a workshop – an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Warning
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold due to the risk of fire.
Important
If a message prompts you to top up the engine oil, only fill with the specified amount. If the level is too high, it may result in operational disruption.
