MAINTENANCE
Maintenance services
Your Volvo has passed two major inspections before it was delivered to you, according to Volvo specifications. When driven 600-1,200 miles
(1,000-2,000 km), your car should be brought to the Volvo dealer for a maintenance service. Engine, manual transmission and rear axle oils,
will be changed at this time.
Following this inspection, maintenance inspections as outlined in this book should be performed every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
Engine oil and oil filter changes should be performed every 5,000 miles (8,000 km), or at the time intervals outlined on
page 60 .
The extended maintenance inspection intervals make it even more advisable to follow this program.
Inspection and service should also be performed any time a malfunction is observed or suspected. It is recommended that receipts for vehicle
emission services be retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. See your "Warranty Information and Maintenance Records
Booklets"
Maintenance inspection intervals
Volvo advises you to follow the inspection program at 5,000 mile or 8,000 km intervals which is outlined in the "Warranties and Maintenance
Records Manual". This maintenance program contains inspections and services necessary for the proper functioning of your car over the next
inspection interval.
The maintenance inspections contain several checks which require special instruments and tools and therefore must be performed by a
qualified technician.
To keep your Volvo in top condition, specify time tested and proven Genuine Volvo Parts and Accessories.
