How many liters of engine oil should be added to a Volvo S60L?

Volvo S60L requires 3 to 6 liters of engine oil, and it should not be overfilled. Here are some introductions about engine oil: 1. Lubricating oil containing PAO is called synthetic engine oil: Synthetic engine oil can be divided into full synthetic engine oil and semi-synthetic engine oil. 2. Full synthetic engine oil: It is formulated with 100% PAO as the base oil and additives. With its stable molecular structure, full synthetic engine oil provides superior oxidation stability and outstanding anti-wear performance, effectively extending the engine's service life. 3. Semi-synthetic engine oil: Semi-synthetic engine oil achieves an ideal combination of viscosity, lubrication, volatility, and cleanliness, maximizing engine protection while minimizing friction and fuel consumption.
I have a car model similar to the Volvo S60L, and I often do the maintenance myself. Each oil change requires about 5.7 liters. This amount isn't arbitrary—it depends on your specific engine model. For the common 2.0T engine, this is generally the standard. I recommend adding oil when the engine is cold. First, drain the old oil completely, then add the new oil slowly without rushing. After adding, start the engine for a few minutes to let the oil circulate evenly before checking the dipstick. The oil level must be between the minimum and maximum marks; exceeding or falling short can affect engine performance. Using 5W-30 full synthetic oil is the best match. Paying attention to these details can help your car last longer, saving you money and giving you peace of mind.
