Checking Transmission Oil Level: Preparations
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The difference between MAX and MIN volume is 0.5 liters. Check oil temperature in transmission.
At room temperature (+20°C) the oil level is near the MIN mark on the "cold area".
At room temperature (+20°C) and low oil level the oil barely reaches the dipstick.
The "cold range" (+40°C) is reached after approximately 15 minutes idling in the workshop, while the "hot range" (+80°C) is reached after approximately 30 minutes highway driving at an air temperature above +15°C.
NOTE:
The check should be carried out at an oil temperature of +80°C.
