2007 Volvo XC90
Changing coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be\
drained, consult your Volvo
retailer.
NOTE: Do not top off with water only. This reduces the rust-protective and an\
tifreeze qualities of the
coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the c\
ooling system if it should freeze.
Top off with Volvo Genuine Coolant/Antifreeze only (a 50/50 mix of wate\
r and antifreeze). CAUTION!
The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If i\
t is not kept filled, there can be
high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Diff\
erent types of antifreeze/
coolant may not be mixed.
Check coolant regularly!
WARNING!
l Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is warm. Wait until the v\
ehicle cools.
l If it is necessary to top up the coolant when the engine is warm, unscre\
w the expansion tank cap
slowly so that the overpressure dissipates.

1. The transmission oil does not normally need to be changed during the \
service life of the vehicle. However, it
may be necessary to replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven in ar\
eas of sustained temperature extremes (hot
or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, for prolonged driv\
ing in mountainous areas, or if the vehicle
is often driven short distances in temperatures under 40°F (5°C)\
