NOTE ENGINE OIL:
Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new
as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearingin to each other. From the time the engine is new until the
first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially
important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 126
.
In general, the rate of oil consumption depends on such factors as: engine temperature, length of trip, driving
conditions, oil viscosity and quality, engine speed and acceleration/deceleration.
Checking your engine oil level each time the car is refueled is one of the most important items you can perform to
help keep your car in good running order.

Rolling road (spin) test (models with AWD and viscous coupling)
When checking brakes using a rolling road (spin) test, or when balancing the wheels directly on the car, the other
wheels must be free to roll, see illustration. This ensures that the viscous coupling is not damaged. The drive power is
transferred automatically by the viscous coupling to the car's other drive wheels. If you are unsure, consult your nearest
Volvo retailer.
Hoisting the car
If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to
bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame and under the
reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the
jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.
If a twopost hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced lift
plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail. The position of these plates is marked with arrows molded into the bottom of
the sill rail.
CAUTION: Certain models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler. Please observe
caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should be replaced
more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be
replaced with a new one.
