Engine oil

Although some oil consumption occurs during

normal engine operation, more oil is consumed

when the engine is new as the internal parts

generate higher friction while wearingin to each

other. From the time the engine is new until the

first service is performed, the oil consumption

could be higher than normal. For this reason, it

is especially important to check the oil every

time you refuel your vehicle during this period.

See page 191 for more information.

Fuel requirements

Deposit control gasoline (detergent

additives)

Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas-

oline to control engine deposits. Detergent

gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and

intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit

control gasolines will help ensure good driva-

bility and fuel economy. If you are not sure

whether the gasoline contains deposit control

additives, check with the service station oper-

ator.

NOTE

Volvo does not recommend the use of

external fuel injector cleaning systems.

Unleaded fuel

Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter

and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and

Canadian regulations require that pumps deliv-

ering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEA-

DED". Only these pumps have nozzles which

fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dis-

pense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled

"unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline

damages the three-way catalytic converter and

the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated

use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effec-

tiveness of the emission control system and

could result in loss of emission warranty cov-

erage. State and local vehicle inspection pro-

grams will make detection of misfueling easier,

possibly resulting in emission test failure for

misfueled vehicles.

NOTE

Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain

an octane enhancing additive called methyl-

cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl

(MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission

Control System performance may be affec-

ted, and the Check Engine Light (malfunc-

tion indicator lamp) located on your instru-

ment panel may light. If this occurs, please

return your vehicle to an authorized Volvo

retailer for service.

Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers

"Oxygenated fuels"

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing

"oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or

ethers. In some areas, state or local laws

require that the service pump be marked indi-

cating use of alcohols or ethers. However,

there are areas in which the pumps are

unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is

alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check

with the service station operator. To meet sea-

sonal air quality standards, some areas require

the use of "oxygenated" fuel.

Volvo allows the use of the following "oxygen-

ated" fuels; however, the octane ratings listed

on this page must still be met.

Alcohol – Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10%

ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may

also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gaso-

hol".

Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15%

MTBE may be used.
