NOTE! Use engine oil of type SAE 10W, SAE 10W/30 or SAE
15W/40, if the engine is to be started under an ambient tempe-
rature of less than 0 °C, even if the daytime temperature rises
up to 10 °C.
Fuel, quality requirements
The fuel should at least meet the legal requirements, and national
and international standards for marketed fuels, for example EN590
(with nationally adapted low temperature requirements), ASTM D
975 No 1D and 2D, JIS KK 2204.
Sulphur content: According to legal requirements (the sulphur con-
tent must not exceed 0.3 percent by weight).
Bio diesel fuel
Vegetable oil and/or ester, also referred to as "Bio-Diesel", e.g.
methyl ester or rapeseed (RME) is in some markets offered both
as pure product or for mixing with diesel fuel.
Volvo CE permits an additive quantity of max. 5% of bio-diesel to
the diesel fuel, mixed in by the oil manufacturer.
An additive component of more than 5 % of bio-diesel may have
the following effects:
– increased emission of nitrogen oxides (beyond the legally spe-
cified limits)
– reduced lifetime of engine and injection system
– increased fuel consumption
– change in engine power
– halving of time between oil change intervals
– reduced lifetime of rubber elements in the fuel system
– affected low temperature properties of the fuel
– limit storage time of the fuel. Clogging of the fuel system may
occur, if the machine is not used for a longer period of time.
Warranty
The warranty does not cover damaged caused by the admixture of
more than 5 % of bio-diesel.
