oil VOLVO XC70 2007 Owner's Manual

2007 Volvo XC70
CAUTION!
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine dama\
ge if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil\
consumption.
- Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine dama\
ge if the oil level becomes too
low.
- Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used.
WARNING!
Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pip\
e
surfaces.
R-models
R-models are equipped with an oil level warning system. If the engine oi\
l level becomes too low, the
warning light in the instrument panel will come on and a warning will be\
displayed in the text window.
l If the yellow warning light in the instrument panel comes on and the tex\
t OIL LEVEL LOW/FILL
OIL is displayed, stop safely as soon as possible and add 1 qt (1 liter\
) of oil. Check the oil level with the
dipstick before restarting the engine.
l If the red warning light in the instrument panel comes on and the text O\
IL LEVEL LOW/STOP
SAFELY-->STOP ENGINE -->SEE MANUAL is displayed, stop safely as soon as \
possible and add oil
(not more than 1.6 qts (1.5 liters). Check the oil level with the dip\
stick before restarting the engine. If no
oil level is visible on the dipstick, do not start the engine. Have the \
vehicle towed to an authorized Volvo
retailer.

Washer fluid reservoir
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and hold\
s approx. 6.8 US qts (6.4 liters)
or 4.8 US qts (4.5 liters) on the V70 R.
During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield wash\
er solvent containing antifreeze.
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 wat\
er 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.

Fluids
Clutch and brake fluid reservoir
The clutch and brake fluid should always be above the MIN mark on the si\
de of the reservoir. Check,
without removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoi\
r.
Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point >536 °F (280 °C), P/N 9437433.
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid should be rep\
laced once a year or
every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) when driving under extremely hard condi\
tions (mountain driving, etc.).
Always entrust brake fluid changing to an authorized Volvo retailer.

Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
l Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from y\
our fingers vaporize in the
heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
l The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of me\
rcury. These bulbs should
always be disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
l The following bulbs should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo servi\
ce technician:
- Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
- Courtesy (dome) lighting,
- Reading lights,
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
- High-mounted brake lights
- Diodes in the rear tail lights
Replacing bulbs at the front of the vehicle
All front bulbs (except the optional front fog lights) are replaced fr\
om the engine compartment.
WARNING!
Active Bi-Xenon headlights (option) - due to the high voltage used by \
these headlights, these bulbs
should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.

WARNING!
The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special \
safety precautions must be
followed to prevent injury. Always turn the ignition off when:
l Replacing distributor ignition components e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
l Do not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engin\
e is running. This may
result in unintended movements and body injury.

Engine specifications

1. Automatic transmission: 220 kW at 100 rps, 300 hp at 6000 rpm.
2. Automatic transmission: 350Nm at 32-100 rps, 258 ft. lbs at 1850-6000\
rpm.
Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the eng\
ine inlet manifold and a
charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increa\
se in air flow raises pressure in the
intake manifold and increases engine power over that developed by the no\
rmally-aspirated engine. The
charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the \
turbo-compressor and inlet
manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.
