Engine oil
Oil specifications
Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-3, API SL, and ACEA A1/ B1. Lower quality oils may
not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection.
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 maintenance services. 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 such as SAE 5W - 40 or 0W -40. See the viscosity chart.

Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse has blown.
Fuses are located in four different places:
1. Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
2. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, behind plastic cover
3. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, on the edge of the dashboard
4. Fuse box in the cargo area
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each
fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you
will find a special fuse removal tool (and several extra fuses) in the passenger compartment fuse box on the driver's
end of dashboard. From the side, examine the curved metal wire (see the illustration above) to see if it is broken. If so,
put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the
passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an authorized Volvo
retailer.
WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could overload the
vehicle's electrical system.
