EO-O Premium Plus (or VDS-4) diesel engine oil is mandatory for use in all 2007 emission compliant
Volvo engines. Chassis equipped with a 2007 emission compliant engine, which can be identified by the
presence of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), also require the use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.
EO-O Premium Plus oils exceed the new API service category CJ-4.
CAUTION
DO NOT add extra oil additives. Additives such as break-in oils, top oils, graphitizers, and friction-
reducing liquids are not necessary and can harm the engine.
1.3.3 Oil Change Intervals
The length of time an engine can operate before an oil change depends on the quality oil used, the type
of fuel used, fuel consumption, engine oil consumption, vehicle application, level of dust in the air, and
fuel consumption. The change intervals given in this manual are maximum intervals. If the vehicle is
operating in heavy-duty operation, dusty or off-road conditions, etc., reduce the intervals for more
frequent oil changes.
NOTE
Use the information in the table below to determine the operating condition and usage applicable to your
vehicle.
Engine Operating Condition Medium Heavy Severe
Total Fuel Consumption (mpg) More than 6 More than 4.7 More than 3.7
Total Fuel Consumption (L/100 KM) Less than 39 Less than 50 Less than 64
Engine Oil and Filter Change
Interval, miles (km) – 41 U.S. quarts (39L)
Oil capacity
35,000 (55 000) 25,000 (40 000) 15,000 (24 000)
NOTE: If idle time is greater than 25%, use the next lower drain interval.
NOTE
Oil filters should always be changed when
changing the oil.
1.3.4 Oil Filters
There are three filters on the engine, one of
which is a bypass filter. This should be changed
at the same time as the full-flow filter(s).
CAUTION
Volvo branded oil filters are designed to
provide the proper level of filtration and
protection for Volvo engines. Filters that do
not meet the same stringent requirements
may void engine warranty.

Synthetic oils are offered by some oil suppliers
as an alternative to the traditional, petroleum
based oils for engines. These oils may be used
in Volvo engines, provided they meet the quality
