Viscosity should be chosen using the adjoining table.
Note: The temperature values refer to steady outside
air temperature.

Oil change amount
See chapter ”Technical Data”.
Oil change intervals can vary between 50–600 hours depending upon the grade of the oil and the sulfur content of
the fuel. Note that the oil change intervals may never exceed a period of 12 months.
If change intervals longer than those provided are desired, the condition of the oil must be checked by the manu-
facturer of the oil by regular testing.
NOTE! Mineral based oil, either fully or semi-synthetic, can be used on condition that it complies with the quality
requirements above.
1)
If the sulfur content is > 1.0% by weight, use oil with TBN > 15
2)
The engine oil must fullfil both requirements. For markets outside Europe, API: CG-4 and CH-4 can be used instead of
ACEA: E3.
VDS = Volvo Drain Specification
ACEA = Association des Constructeurs Européenne d’Automobiles
API = American Petroleum Institute
