The dipstick has marks for checking hot and cold oil. The oil level when the engine is cold must never 
be higher than the COLD mark. After the engine has reached normal operating temperature, the level 
may not be higher than the HOT mark. Top up when the level is at the ADD mark.  
Check the level at every service. 

 
Fluid type: ATF  
Replace: no fluid change required. 

 
Brake and clutch systems 

 
The brake and clutch systems share the same fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be between the MIN 
and MAX marks. 

 
Fluid type: DOT 4+  
Replace: Every second year or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The fluid should be replaced once a year or 
every 15,000 miles (25,000 km) when driving under extremely hard conditions (mountain driving, etc.) 

 
Check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the " MIN " mark of the fluid reservoir.  
Always entrust brake/clutch fluid changing to an authorized Volvo retailer.
