SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
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 oilThis vehicle comes from the factory with synthetic
oil.Oil specificationsFull synthetic engine oil meeting the minimum
ACEA A5/B5 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.
