service VOLVO XC70 2004 Owner's Manual

2004 VOLVO XC70
recommends use of oil with a quality rating equal to or higher than ILSA\
C GF-2. Equivalent and better
oils include ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF, and SJ/Energy conserving. Lower qua\
lity oils may not offer the
same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection.
Volvo Cars recommends Castrol.
Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide \
superior fuel economy and
engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on pr\
emium or synthetic oils.
Oil additives must not be used.
NOTE: Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal mainten\
ance services. This oil is
only used at customer request, at additional charge. Please consult your\
Volvo retailer.
Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Operation in temperate climates
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when t\
emperatures do not exceed 86 °F
(30°C), SAE 5W/30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protect\
ion. See the viscosity chart
below.
Operation in hot climates
When temperatures exceed 86 °F (30°C) in your area, Volvo recomm\
ends, for the protection of your
engine, that you use a heavier weight oil, such as SAE 10W/30. See the v\
iscosity chart below.
Extreme engine operation
Synthetic oils meeting SAE 10W/30 and complying with oil quality require\
ments are recommended for
driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when\
towing a trailer over long
distances, and for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.
Changing oil and oil filter
Oil and oil filter changes should be made at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) in\
tervals.

The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:
l The top half describes the oil's performance level.
l The center identifies the oil's viscosity.
l The bottom half tells whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving\
proper ties in a standard
test in comparison to a reference oil.
Viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)

Break-in Period
Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, mor\
e oil is consumed when the
engine is new as the internal parts generate higher friction while weari\
ng-in each other. From the time
the engine is new until the first service is performed, the oil consumpt\
ion could be higher than
normal. For this reason, it is especially important to check the oil eve\
ry time you refuel you car
during this period.

pg. 138 Engine oil
Checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked every time the car is refueled. This is \
especially important during
the period up to the first service.
CAUTION:
Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage\
if the oil level becomes too low.

pg. 140 Battery maintenance

Battery maintenance
The battery in your car is located under the floor of the cargo area.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc. all a\
ffect the service life and function of
the battery. In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep t\
he following in mind:
l Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or eve\
ry 15,000* miles (24,000 km),
whichever is sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illus\
tration above (A**).
Use a screwdriver to open the caps and a flashlight to inspect the level\
.
l If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A).
l The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.
l After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell is securely in \
place.
l Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tight\
ened.
l Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, for example whe\
n changing the battery.
l The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charg\
er is used directly on the
battery. However, if the battery is being charged via the connecting poi\
nts in the engine compartment
(see
page 104), the battery must be connected.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead \
compounds, chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash h\
ands after handling.

Accessory Installation - Important Warning
l We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-appr\
oved accessories, and
that accessory installations be performed only by the factory-trained te\
chnicians at your authorized
Volvo retailer.
l Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the pe\
rformance, safety, and
emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retail\
er knows where accessories may
and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please cons\
ult your authorized Volvo retailer
before installing any accessory in or on your car.
l Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be speci\
fically tested for
compatibility with your car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer ma\
y not be familiar with some of
your car's systems.
l Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affe\
cted if you install
accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be\
installed by someone unfamiliar
with your car.
l Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not \
be covered by your new
car warranty. See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet \
for more warranty
information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expen\
ses that may result from the
installation of non-genuine accessories.
Driver Distraction
l Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly \
related to controlling the car in the
driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many fe\
ature-rich entertainment and
communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, nav\
igation systems, and
multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic d\
evices for your own
convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving expe\
rience. Improperly used, any
of these could cause a distraction.
l For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that \
reflects the strong Volvo
concern for your safety:
l Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that dis\
tracts you from the task of
