5L is sufficient. The type of oil used for the Volvo XC60 depends on the 4S shop and local usage conditions and temperature. The Volvo XC60 requires 5 liters of oil for an oil change, typically using oil of 5W-30 grade or higher. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is referred to as the 'blood' of a car, providing lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, wear reduction, rust prevention, and corrosion protection for the engine. More details about the Volvo XC60 are as follows: 1. Exterior Design: The domestically produced Volvo XC60 largely retains the design of the overseas version, with identical exterior dimensions—length, width, and height of 4688/1902/1658mm, and a wheelbase of 2865mm. The new car is built on Volvo's latest modular SPA platform. Compared to the older model, the new XC60 features Volvo's signature 'Thor's Hammer' LED headlights, a redesigned grille, and chrome trim. The L-shaped taillights highlight its brand identity. 2. Body Colors: The new XC60 will be available in up to 8 body colors, including Crystal White Pearl, Brown Metallic, Magic Night Silver Metallic, Onyx Black Metallic, and more, along with 5 wheel rim styles.
I've owned a Volvo XC60 for several years, and every time I go for an oil change, I prepare about 6 liters of oil, depending on the engine model. For example, the T5 engine requires this amount. Adding too little can cause overheating, while too much can increase pressure and damage the engine. So, I always check the owner's manual first—it usually specifies between 5.8 and 6.1 liters. An extra tip: don’t skimp on oil; choose full synthetic to protect the engine and extend its lifespan. Change the oil regularly every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers to prevent aging. When performing the change, let the car cool down first to drain the oil more thoroughly, and after adding new oil, wait a few minutes to check that the dipstick reads at the midpoint for optimal safety. In short, 6 liters is the baseline, but adjust according to your specific model. Developing good maintenance habits saves money and hassle compared to major repairs later. My advice is to learn more about maintenance—it pays off.
As a car enthusiast, I find changing the oil for the XC60 quite simple, with the amount typically around 6 liters. There might be slight variations for different model years, such as the T6 engine post-2018 possibly requiring up to 6.5 liters. It's advisable to check the manual or DIY videos online beforehand. I've tried changing the oil myself—warming up the car before draining the old oil makes it flow more smoothly, and replacing the oil filter ensures cleanliness. Don't skimp on oil; use Volvo-certified full synthetic oil to minimize wear. After the oil change, drive a short distance and then check the oil level to adjust, avoiding overfilling or underfilling. This process can save you some money, enhance your car skills, and boost your confidence in handling your vehicle, making it as easy as upgrading a toy.
