How to check your Oil Level

Product Specialist Mark explaining how to check the oil level electronically on your Volvo.

Current Volvo models don’t have the usual engine oil dip stick to check the oil level, instead they have an electronic oil sensor, and you can check the oil level information in the cluster display.

Follow this simple tutorial to check the oil level in your Volvo!

You'd be surprised on how long it took to find someone who got straight to the point on why it was greyed out. Thank you.

The slim few out here on YouTube that just get to the point and show you what you need are absolute legends. Thank you 🙏🏼

About to head on a road trip for the first time in my 2017 s60. I am a little old school and have only had this car for 6 months so I was looking for a dip stick. This video is uber helpful, thanks so much brother!

Thanks, 5 weeks i've had this car and been trying to work out how to check the oil!

I was just checking the fluids in my Girlfriends V40 and was all over the engine looking for a dipstick... when it turned out the only dipstick under that bonnet was me. Haha

Excellent! Much appreciated. The manual needs to be a lot more clear and specific! Thank you for this. 😊

Thank you Mark, I've been doing my head in trying to get this greyed out option working. Local dealer just told me look when car ready to start, but never mentioned the second button-push. I need to track the oil usage on my newly bought 2016 D3 V70, as it is using a hell of a lot of oil.

Thanks man! This save my day. Because I was suposing that oil sensor was not working in my car!

Thank you for a good description of checking the oil level. It´s not describe in the Swedish Owner´s Manual.

Outstanding! I was looking for the dipstick that is shown in the owner's manual. Volvo must have been playing a trick on me, not the first time. I have a 2016 S80. It has given me a lot of problems over the years. A few months ago it was running very rough. My repair shop said the motor mounts had come loose. She tightened them down and cleared the problem very nicely. I recently had an oil consumpution test performed by Volvo after receiving a notice from them. It failed the test and I need valves and pistons at their expense. Have you ever run into either of these issues? Many thanks for the dip stick tip. Since it was shown in the manual I never would have found it. David

It's important att engine need to be warm before this. You drive first to make it 90', and when you turn off the engine, you can check this options after 5 min. Only right way to do that!

[suraM]

Thanks. I was thinking why the heck it's gray all the time, now I know 😁

[robdisner]

Thanks! Had the car for two years and I just figured out how to do this!

To you who are not awared. This level always is full. It never gonna be in the middle! It can be 0, zero, or full ! After it is zero, it comes message " add 0, 5 litr " or 1 litr! But if you will se how it is exactly right now, you need to connect VIDA! Or chaina's analogue via OBD!

[panjoshua]

Heard the accent and still was surprised when he turned the camera left instead of right to show the center console 🤣

Checking the oil on the dipstick tells you far more than just oil level, you can see the quality, whether it has metal particles or water in it.

for some reason, this does not work on my '89 740 turbo
