Common questions
What oil does a Volvo take?
It depends on the engine. Across the 15 Volvo engines we hold, the approvals named are Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE, A5/B5, Ford WSS-M2C925-A, Volvo VCC C6SP, mostly in 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30. Find your engine above, or choose your engine above for the exact match.
How much oil does a Volvo take?
Between 3.8 and 6.8 litres for an oil and filter change, depending on the engine — each engine's figure is listed above with its source. Fill to the dipstick's maximum mark rather than emptying a whole can in.
Where is the oil specification in a Volvo handbook?
Usually in the "Technical data", "Capacities and specifications" or "Engine oil" section near the back, which names the approval code and viscosity, and the oil-change capacity with filter. The figures above link to the handbooks we found them in.
