How to Check the Oil Level in a Volvo S90?
4 Answers
Volvo S90 does not have a dipstick, so you can only check the oil level on the dashboard. The computer will prompt you when it's time to change the oil. It is recommended to change the oil once when approaching 10,000 kilometers. Below is a related introduction to the Volvo S90: 1. The Volvo S90 features a brand-new front-end design, incorporating design concepts from the Volvo Concept Coupe. The vertical waterfall-style grille, combined with the new "Thor's Hammer" headlights, looks very bold and striking. The grille is surrounded by silver chrome trim, making it very eye-catching and upscale. 2. The hollowed-out Volvo logo adds a more three-dimensional and fashionable touch to the front end. The LED "Thor's Hammer" headlights are simple and sharp, with high recognition. The area above the fog lights is decorated with sealed panels and accented with just the right amount of chrome, giving it a refined and durable look. 3. In terms of body dimensions, the length/width/height are 4963X1890X1443mm, with a wheelbase of 2941mm. The Volvo S90 comes standard with active LED headlights, power-folding exterior mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, front fog lights, and LED cornering lights. Additionally, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, keyless entry, automatic parking, Nappa leather seats, power seats, heated front and rear seats, rear manual sunshades, and four-zone air conditioning are also standard. 4. In terms of powertrain: It is equipped with a 2.0T twin-charged (turbo + supercharged) engine, with a maximum power output of 320 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm. The official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 5.9 seconds. The combined fuel consumption is 7.9L/100km. The transmission system is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As a Volvo S90 owner for several years, I know checking oil level is simple but crucial. First, park on level ground and turn off the engine, wait 5-10 minutes for cooling (don't check right after highway driving). Then turn the key to position II without starting the engine, use the center console screen: go to 'Vehicle Status' menu, tap 'Oil Level' for digital readout. If the level is within the green range, it's fine - low level requires topping up (remember to use factory-recommended VCC RBS0-2AE specification). I check monthly since low oil causes engine overheating damage, normally don't open the hood unnecessarily. If the screen shows no reading or errors, it might be an electronic sensor issue - best visit a dealership then. Developing this habit saves money and hassle.
As a tech enthusiast, I find the electronic systems in the Volvo S90 truly impressive. Checking the oil level is all done via the smart screen: park and turn off the engine, wait a few minutes for it to settle, turn on the ignition (without starting the car), navigate to the 'Settings' menu on the central display, switch to the 'Service' option, and then select 'Oil Information' to view the level. The advantage is no more messy manual dipsticks—just precise digital readings with minimal effort. The electronic sensors monitor in real-time, but don't rely solely on automatic alerts; make it a habit to check manually once a month just in case. Oil is the lifeblood of the engine—low levels increase friction and shorten its lifespan, so I always do a quick check before long trips. Key tip: Ensure the car is on level ground for accurate readings, and use the correct viscosity oil to avoid issues. Modern cars should be this convenient!
Safety driving comes first, I use my car very carefully. Checking the oil level of the Volvo S90 cannot be ignored: insufficient oil increases the risk of engine friction overheating and fire. Simple steps: park the car on level ground, turn off the engine and wait for 5 minutes, turn the key to the second position, and enter the 'Oil Monitoring' from the central control menu to check the level. If it is below normal, add an appropriate amount of original oil; too high is also dangerous. I check it every two weeks or before refueling to make it a habit. If the oil level alarm goes off, stop the car immediately and don't push it. Maintenance tip: change the oil regularly to avoid impurity buildup, which is crucial for driving safety and cannot be taken lightly.
