Oil change on 08 V70
About to get the oil changed on my V70.
Previous owner had this done and filled to the max which subsequently triggered the engine mgmt warning message. National are advising 6 litres of oil for the oil change? Is 5 to 5.5 litres the correct fill to keep it below the max and not suffer the rising oil level issue? |

Even when the garage has put in 5.7 litres, because of rising oil levels during the year due to DPF regeneration I’ve had the engine management light come one and had to suck out a couple of hundred millilitres.
I now ask the garage to put in 5.5 litres and don’t have an issue across the year. |

Can you clarify this. When you say they reduced the oil fill and fixed the oil rising problem, do you mean that by reducing the initial fill level they made room for possible oil level rises between oil changes so the problem never reached a warning light level or are you saying that they actually stopped any diesel fuel/lubricating oil contamination altogether. The first wouldn't actually be a fix but only a work-around that reduced owner anxiety but didn't remove the shortcomings of the regeneration system. I have never had an issue with my 2012 XC70 but knowing what the situation really is helps in decision making.

If the car has not seen a dealers for a while the electronics could be running an out of date program. It's the reason my xc70 gets a service at the dealers once a year, I do most other things myself. Paul. |

At an independent. Dashboard warning has gone. Car is being traded in against an XC60 shortly when I can find the right one.

In previous years I have added about 5 litres then topped up a couple of times to give the electronic dash dip a mid-point reading. Now the electronic dash dip is now showing oil level to be full. Would this indicate I had 0.8 litres of old oil still in the engine when I topped up ( don't see how as car was level at draining) or will the software be correct to identify that 5.7 litres is the new Max.?
