American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol 
The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts: 
l     The upper section describes the oil's performance level. 
l     The center identifies the oil's viscosity. 
l     The lower section indicates whether the oil has demonstrated energy-cons\
erving properties in a 
standard test in comparison to a reference oil.

Engine oil 
Changing engine oil and oil filter 
See the previous page for oil specifications and 
page 212 for oil volumes. Refer to the Warranty and 
Service Records Information booklet for information on the oil change in\
tervals.
NOTE: 
l     Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives. 
l     Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintena\
nce intervals except at owner 
request and at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Checking and adding oil 
The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This\
 is especially important during 
the period up to the first scheduled maintenance service. 
l     The vehicle should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked.\
 
l     If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10-15 minutes after the engine has been switched off\
 before 
checking the oil.

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)\

Three-way catalytic converter 
Points to keep in mind 
l     Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particular\
ly 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 engi\
ne 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 three-way cata\
lytic converter. 
l     Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or le\
aves, which can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite u\
nder certain wind and weather 
conditions. 
l     Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermitte\
ntly firing or flooded engine can 
cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. 
l     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 vehicles with three-way catalytic convert\
ers.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler) 
Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the engi\
ne inlet manifold and a charge 
air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in a\
ir 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-c\
ompressor and inlet manifold.
Fuel system 
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.
