1999 VOLVO C70 fuel

CAUTION: Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or
lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the
hub caps.
pg. 84 Spare tire
Temporary Spare (certain models)
The spare tire of your car is what is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/90R15.
Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler flap) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the
car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.
CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a
punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be
affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

Oil quality

Meeting API specification SG, SG/CD, SH or Energy Conserving (EC) II
For best fuel economy and engine protection, consult with your authorized Volvo retailer for recommended oils. Oil
with a different quality rating may not provide adequate engine protection. Synthetic oils complying with oil quality
requirements are recommended for : driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a
trailer over long distances or for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.
Extra oil additives must not be used unless advised by an authorized Volvo retailer.
NOTE: SAE 15 W -40 oil should only be used in extreme operating conditions such as trailer towing in sustained
ambient temperatures over 104° F (40° C). However, SAE 10W -30 synthetic oil would be a better alternative in such
conditions.
SAE 15W-30 should not be used under normal operating conditions.
