not add oil above the "cold run" band before
the transmission reaches 180

Hot Check
Make sure the transmission fluid temperature is
between 180
o
F and 220
o
F (82

before performing the hot check. Run the engine
between 1,000 and 1,200 RPM for
approximately one minute to purge air from the
system. With the engine idling and the parking
brake applied, shift transmission from forward
(D) to reverse (R) and back into neutral (N) to fill
clutch cavities with oil. Remove and clean
dipstick, then check oil level. If the oil level is on
or under the lower HOT RUN line, add just
enough oil to bring up the level to the middle of
the HOT RUN band.

I-Shift Transmission Oil Level
Check the transmission oil level at each service
interval. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Check the oil level through the sight glass on the
side of the transmission. Add oil as necessary.
Always use the correct Volvo approved synthetic
oil (Castrol Syntrans SAE 75W85).
I-SHIFT TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE
•
Vehicle should be on horizontal ground
when oil is changed;
•
Do not check oil level straight after a journey
(incorrect measurement). Undertake the
check once the transmission oil has cooled
down (lower than 104
o
F or 40
o
C);
•
Check oil level using transmission sight
glass (2) ;
