NOTE: The level varies depending on oil temperature!
The difference between MAX- and MIN- volume is 0.5 liters (0.5 US qts) Oil temperature in the transmission can be checked using Volvo Scan Tools
(Diagnostic Key or Volvo System Tester) in DTM 5.
At room temperature (+20 °C = 68 °F) the level should be between the bottom of the dipstick and the second mark down from the cold range, see
illustration.
The "cold range" (+40 °C = 104 °F) is reached after approx. 15 minutes idling, while the "hot range" (+80 °C = 176 °F) is reached after approx. 30
minutes highway driving at an air temperature of +15 °C (59 °F). The check should be carried out at an oil temperature of +80°C (176 °F).
High level (overfilling)
Warning! The oil may be very hot if the car has just been driven. Avoid contact with your skin. The transmission must not be operated if the oil level is
too high due to overfilling. This can cause increased operating temperatures and oil leakage.
