SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
This support is an important advantage to you, 
the Volvo owner, as systems become more 
sophisticated and intricate.
Servicing your Volvo should be done at your 
convenience. Therefore, plan to make your 
appointments ahead of time so that your retailer 
can schedule the right personnel and equipment to 
be available for the work your Volvo requires.
Should you have any questions concerning service, 
parts, or warranty coverage, your Volvo retailer 
will be happy to answer them for you. Should 
you require additional information, they can 
further assist you by contacting Volvo’s Regional 
personnel for clarification.
Remember – you should always exercise your 
right to:
• Receive an estimate of costs before any repair 
work is performed;
• Receive prior notification of any additional 
repairs;
• Receive a copy of the repair order, including 
those for warranty repairs;
• Review repairs completed under warranty.
ServicingItems you should check at regular maintenance 
intervals and periodically when refueling:
• Engine oil level
• Coolant level
• Washer fluid
• Tire inflation pressure
• Brake system fluid levels
• Exterior lights (headlights, turn-signals, etc.)
Fuel requirements
Consult your Owner’s Manual for fuel 
requirements.
Octane Rating
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
Volvo endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline” where available to help maintain engine 
performance and reliability. TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline meets a new standard jointly established 
by leading automotive manufactures to meet the 
needs of today’s advanced engines. Qualifying 
gasoline retailers (stations) will, in most cases, 
identify their gasoline as having met the “TOP  TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards.
NOTE
Information about TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline is available at www.toptiergas.com.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
of the emission control system and could result 
in loss of emission warranty coverage. State 
and local vehicle inspection programs will make 
detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in 
emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain 
an octane enhancing additive called 
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl 
(MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission 
Control System performance may be affected, 
and the Check Engine Light (malfunction 
indicator lamp) located on your instrument 
panel may light. If this occurs, please return 
your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for 
service.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers
(oxygenated fuels)
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing 
“oxygenates” which are usually alcohols or ethers. 
In some areas, state or local laws require that the 
service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols 
or ethers. However, there are areas in which the 
pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether 
there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, 
check with the service station operator. To meet 
seasonal air quality standards, some areas require 
the use of “oxygenated” fuel.
Methanol
Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl 
alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in 
vehicle performance deterioration and can damage  critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may 
not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited 
Warranty.
Volvo allows the use of the following “oxygenated” 
fuels; however, the octane ratings listed in your 
owner’s manual must still be met.
Alcohol – Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume 
may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as 
Ethyl alcohol, or “Gasohol.”
Ethers – MTBE
Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.
Engine oil
This vehicle comes from the factory with 
synthetic oil.
Oil specificationsFull synthetic engine oil meeting the minimum  RBS0-2AE/SAE 0W20 must be used. Lower 
quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, 
engine performance, or engine protection.
Volvo recommends:
Oil additives must not be used.
