After service Oil issues
Hi I recently had my car serviced at a local garage and since I got it back I have a warning light on saying I need to add 1 litre of Oil but the garage assures me they have already put 5.1liters in plus an additional 0.5 liters. I am worried if I put the additional 1 liter in then it maybe too much oil. Can anyone advise. Also the dash board tells me there is no information on how much oil is in the car. A bit annoying to be honest.
I don't really want to have to take it to Volvo to resolve as it will cost me another £150 + VAT which I don't really have at the moment to spend. |

Hi
If they took the job on and you paid surely it is up to them to sort or take it to Volvo to sort. Or give you a refund Iain |

I think the electronic dipstick needs to be re-calibrated after an oil change so quite possible this has not been done by the garage unless they have Volvo diagnostics.

Hi Guys thanks for all your help and advice I am currently at the local garage, will update you if and when they resolve the issue otherwise I will end up taking it to Volvo, reluctantly I have to say.

The electronic dipstick can be reset by Volvo dealers through VIDA to reset the oil level reading. This is just a short cut to prevent oil level warning messages until the system has otherwise reset itself.
Without the VIDA reset, and as long as you are certain that there is sufficient oil in the engine, the system will have reset itself after a journey of approximately 30 km and standing on a level surface with the engine off for more than 5 minutes. |
