2022 XC90 Volvo Specifications For fluids and lubricants

Topping up washer fluid

Washer fluid is used for cleaning the headlamps as well as the windscreen and rear window. Washer fluid with antifreeze must be used when the temperature is under the freezing point.

Washer fluid is filled into the reservoir with the blue cap. The reservoir is used for the windscreen washers, rear window washers and headlamp washers.

NoteWhen approx. 1 litre (1 qt) of washer fluid remains in the reservoir, and the message Washer fluid Level low, the refill is shown in the driver display, together with the symbol.

Prescribed grade: Washer fluid recommended by Volvo – with frost protection during cold weather and for temperatures below freezing point.

ImportantUse Volvo genuine washer fluid or equivalent with a recommended pH of between 6 and 8, in working dilution (e.g. 1:1 with neutral water).
ImportantUse washer fluid with antifreeze when the temperature is below freezing to avoid the fluid freezing inside the pump, reservoir and hoses.

Volume:

  • Cars with headlamp washing: 5.5 litres (5.8 qt).
  • Cars without headlamp washing: 3.5 litres (3.7 qt).

Air conditioning – specifications

The car’s climate control system uses a freon-free refrigerant, either R1234yf or R134a, depending on the market. Information about which refrigerant the car’s climate control system uses is printed on a decal located on the underside of the bonnet. Refrigerant and compressor oil are used in the air conditioning system. Information is shown below about the label for refrigerant quantity, and the table below shows the prescribed quality and volume for compressor oil.

Evaporator

ImportantThe A/C system’s evaporator must never be repaired or replaced with a previously used evaporator. A new evaporator must be certified and labelled in accordance with SAE J2842.

Brake fluid – specifications

Brake fluid is the medium in a hydraulic brake system that is used to transfer pressure from e.g. a brake pedal via a master brake cylinder, which in turn acts on the brake callipers.
Prescribed grade: Volvo Original or equivalent fluid compliant with a combination of Dot 4, 5.1 and ISO 4925 class 6.
Note
It is recommended that brake fluid is changed or filled by an authorised Volvo workshop.

Transmission fluid – specifications

Under normal driving conditions, the transmission fluid does not need to be changed during the service life of the gearbox. However, it may be necessary in adverse driving conditions.

Automatic gearbox

Prescribed transmission fluid: AW-2
Note
Check with your Volvo dealer if you are not sure which variant your car is equipped with.

Tank capacity for AdBlue®

The tank capacity for the additive AdBlue is approx. 11.5 litres.

Fuel tank – volume

The fuel tank’s filling capacity can be read in the table below.
All engines
Litres (approx) 71
US gallons (approx) 18,8

Adverse driving conditions for engine oil

Adverse driving conditions can lead to abnormally high oil temperatures or oil consumption. Below are some examples of adverse driving conditions.

Check the oil level more frequently for long journeys:

  • towing a caravan or trailer
  • in mountainous regions
  • at high speeds
  • in temperatures colder than -30 °C (-22 °F) or hotter than +40 °C (+104 °F).
  1. The above also applies to shorter driving distances at low temperatures.
  2. Choose a fully synthetic engine oil for adverse driving conditions. It provides extra protection for the engine.

Volvo recommends:

Important

  1. In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine’s service intervals all engines are filled with specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory.
  2. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
  3. Approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals can be applied.
  4. Only use a prescribed grade of oil for both filling and oil change, otherwise, there is a risk of the service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact of the car is affected.
  5. If engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used, engine-related components may become damaged. Volvo disclaims any liability for any such damage.
  6. Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.
