How to Check the Oil Level in an XC60?
1 Answers
The latest Volvo XC60 models are equipped with an electronic oil dipstick, and the oil level can be checked through the oil level option in the vehicle's computer menu. For older XC60 models, which use a traditional electronic oil dipstick, you should turn off the engine, let it sit level for 15 minutes, then open the engine compartment to check the dipstick. The optimal oil level is between the lower and upper marks on the dipstick, indicating the appropriate amount of oil in the engine. Here are some relevant details: 1. Like a conventional oil dipstick, the electronic oil dipstick also has upper and lower limit marks. If the oil level is close to the lower limit, it does not mean the oil pan is empty, but rather that the oil volume is nearing the minimum of the normal range. You can continue driving without issues, but the oil will continue to deplete over time until it reaches the bottom. 2. For a conventional oil dipstick, the first step is to wipe it clean after pulling it out, then reinsert and pull it out again. As long as the oil level is within the marked upper and lower limits, it is acceptable. If it's above the upper limit, there's too much oil; if it's below the lower limit, there's too little.
