2006 VOLVO C70 service

WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated in the following tables. Doing so could overload the
vehicle's electrical system.
Fuse box in the engine compartment
The fuse box in the engine compartment has positions for 36 fuses.
Fuses 1-18 are relays/circuit breakers and should only be removed or replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
Fuses 19-36 may be changed at any time when necessary. Several extra fuses and a fuse removal tool to assist in
removing/replacing fuses can be found on the underside of the fuse box cover in the engine compartment.

Fuel, oils, and fluids
pg. 191 Specifications
Engine oil
Oil specifications
Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-3, API SL, or ACEA A1/B1. Lower quality oils may not
offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection.
Volume: 6.1 US qts (5.8 liters).
Volume between the MIN and Max marks on the dipstick: approximately 1.7 US qts (1.6 liters).
Volvo recommends
.
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.
Oil additives must not be used.
NOTE: Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal service intervals. This oil is only used at
customer request, at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
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.
ProCarManuals.com

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.
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.
American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol
The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:
The upper section describes the oil's performance level.
The center identifies the oil's viscosity.
The lower section indicates whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving properties in a standard test in
comparison to a reference oil.
pg. 192 Specifications
Engine specifications
Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor 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.

Technician certification
In addition to Volvo factory training, Volvo supports certification by the National Institute for Automotive Service
Excellence (A.S.E.). Certified technicians have demonstrated a high degree of competence in specific areas. Besides
passing exams, each technician must also have worked in the field for two or more years before a certificate is issued.
These professional technicians are best able to analyze vehicle problems and perform the necessary maintenance
procedures to keep your Volvo at peak operating condition.
