How many liters of engine oil does the Volvo S60L use?

Volvo S60L uses 3.6L of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. The Volvo S60 is a mid-size sedan under the Volvo brand, measuring 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1437mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2872mm. It features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure. The Volvo S60L is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163, a maximum power output of 120 kilowatts at 5000 rpm, and a peak torque of 265 Nm. It comes with a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've driven a Volvo S60L for several years, and every time I change the oil, I remember it's about 5.7 liters, roughly equivalent to two large bottles of mineral water. Last time I had it serviced at the 4S shop, the technician said the standard oil capacity for this model is indeed 5.7 liters, using 5W-30 or 0W-30 full synthetic oil. They drain the old oil completely before refilling, then carefully check the dipstick markings when adding new oil—too high or too low can affect engine lifespan. After an oil change, if the oil pressure warning light comes on, it must be checked immediately. I once experienced the light flashing because slightly less oil was added. In short, following the manual saves hassle and money. Using the right oil in a Volvo can easily extend its life by ten years, and I recommend checking every 8,000 kilometers.
