2001 VOLVO S60 fuel

pg. 171 Oils and fluids
Oil quality
Meeting minimum ILSAC specification GF- 2, including ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/ CF and SJ/ Energy Conserving.
Your Volvo has been certified using ILSAC oil specification GF- 2 5W/ 30.
Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel economy and engine
protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils. Volvo does not
recommend the use of oil additives.
Volvo recommends use of oil with a quality rating equal to or higher than ILSAC GF- 2. Equivalent and better oils
include ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/ CF, and SJ/ Energy conserving. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel
economy, engine performance, or engine protection.
Operation in hot climates
When temperatures exceed 86¡ F (30¡ C) in your area, Volvo recommends, for the protection of your engine, that you
use a heavier weight oil, such as SAE 10W/ 30. See the viscosity chart at right.
Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Operation in temperate climates
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when temperatures do not exceed 86¡ F (30¡ C), SAE
5W/ 30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the viscosity chart at right.
Extreme engine operation
Synthetic oils meeting SAE 10W/ 30 and 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, and for prolonged
driving in mountainous areas.
Changing oil and oil filter
Oil and oil filter changes should be made at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) intervals.
Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives.
Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintenance service intervals.
The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:
The top half describes the oil's perfor - mance level.
The center identifies the oil's viscosity.
The bottom half tells whether the oil has demonstrated energy- conserving properties in a standard test in
comparison to a reference oil.

pg. 172 Oils and fluids
Checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked every time the car is refueled. This is especially important during the period up to the
first service.
CAUTION:
Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low.
Park the car on a level surface and wait for at least 5 minutes after the engine has been switched off. Be sure the oil
level is maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause internal damage to
the engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks represents
approx. 1.6 US qt (1.5 liter). The oil should preferably be checked when cold, before the engine has been started.
NOTE: The engine must be stopped when checking the oil.
WARNING!
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces.
Adding oil (topping up)
Add oil of the same kind as already used.
Capacity (including filter): Normally- aspirated 5- cylinder engine - 5.8 US qts (5.5 liters). Turbo 5- cylinder
engine - 6.1 US qts (5.8 liters).
The oil filter should be replaced at every oil change.
pg. 173 Oils and fluids
Washer fluid reservoir
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and holds approx. 4.7 US qts. (4.5 liters).
During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield washer solvent containing antifreeze.

pg. 196 Three way catalytic converter
Three- way catalytic converter cautions
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or
distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three- way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such
as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the
ProCarManuals.com

three- way catalytic converter.
Do not park your car over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather conditions.
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermittently firing or flooded engine can cause three-
way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the Electronic Control Module, or the
vehicle may be illegal and can cause three- way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection setting or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with three-way catalytic converters.)

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to
cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases
engine power over that developed by the normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a
radiator) is located between the turbo- compressor and inlet manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.
