Volvo V40 Engine Oil Change Advice

All engines are prefilled with a specially formulated synthetic engine oil designed to meet the demands of the engine’s service intervals. Careful consideration was given to the oil’s service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption, and ecological impact before it was selected.

Adherence to the suggested service intervals is impossible without using authorized engine oil. If you want to avoid altering service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption, and environmental effect, only use the specified oil grade when filling and changing the oil.

It would be best if you changed the engine oil and oil filters at intervals in the vehicle’s Service and Warranty Booklet. In this case, you may use oil of better quality than called for. Volvo suggests a better quality oil than what is called for if the automobile is going to be operated in harsh circumstances.

  • Hi Nick, I recently purchased a 2013 Volvo V40 T4 2.0L turbo 6 sp auto. This morning the alert: power steering service required came on. The power steering was not working and the steering very heavy. I drove down the road, stopped, turned off/on the ignition and the problem was resolved. Should I expect future problems and have the power steering service/checked, or is this simply an anomaly I can ignore?
