Engine, Lubrication

For more engine information, refer to the Service Information in Group 2 and the appropriate vendor literature.

Engine oil not only lubricates the engine, it also seals, cools and cleans the engine. Also, such things as filtering theintake air and using low sulfur fuel helps protect the engine components. With better engine designs and improvedengine oils, the service intervals have steadily increased. The service interval used depends on the enginemanufacturer specifications. Make sure that oils having the correct oil type and the correct viscosity are used for themileage interval driven.

CautionPlease note that extending oil change intervals beyond the ones given in this Service Bulletin may damage the

engine, and void your warranty, if still in effect.

Shorter oil change intervals are required if the vehicle operates in a dusty environment or if frequent stops and startsare made.

Many aftermarket oil treatment additives claim to improve engine oil performance when added to the engine oil. DoNOT use such aftermarket oil treatment additives. Each oil type recommended in this Service Bulletin already containsadditives that have been tested by engine and oil manufacturers. Adding aftermarket additives may put the engine atrisk of failure.

Always change the oil filters when changing the engine oil. Previously, there were two types of oil filters used — onetype for normal change intervals and one type for extended change intervals. Now, only long-life oil filters should beused with each oil change.

CautionVOLVO branded oil filters are designed to provide the proper level of filtration and protection for VOLVOengines. Filters that do not meet the same stringent requirements may put the engine at risk of failure.

Engine Oil Viscosity

Select an engine oil with the appropriate engine oil viscosity based on the typical ambient temperatures in which thevehicle will be operated. It is not enough to just select the right type of oil; the right oil viscosity is just as important.

According to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the correct viscosity is determined by the minimum ambienttemperature at cold start and the maximum ambient temperature during engine operation. Use the temperature chart toselect the best viscosity. In general, use the highest viscosity oil available that still meets the cold start-up temperaturerequirements.

Note: When using 10W/30, fuel consumption can be lower than when using 15W/40.

Temperatures refer to constant ambient temperature readings.

Only VDS-4 or EO-O Premium Plus approved oils can be used above +30°C (+86°F). Non VDS-4 / EO-OPremium Plus approved oils can be used up to +30°C (+86°F).Only VDS-2, VDS-3 / EO-N premium Plus and VDS4 / EO-O Premium Plus approved oils.VDS-3 and VDS-4 /. EO-O Premium Plus approved oils of viscosity grade 5W/30 can be used up to +30°C(+86°F).

D12D and D16D Oil Type/Quality

The length of time a vehicle can operate before changing the engine oil depends on the quality of the engine oil used,the type of fuel used, fuel consumption, engine oil consumption, vehicle application, and level of dust in the air. Theengine oil change intervals given in this Service Bulletin are MAXIMUM intervals. In on/off highway driving, severe

2 / 26



off-highway, continuous stop-and-go city driving and extremely high mileages, the oil change interval needs to becustomized for the best protection and economy. Change all engine oil filters at each oil change.

Synthetic engine oils do NOT allow further extension of engine oil change intervals. It is the contamination rate (i.e.,soot and the depletion of additives) rather than base oil quality that determines the useful life of engine oil and,therefore, the oil change intervals.

Note: Engines meeting the emissions requirements of 2004 operate under more severe conditions than previousengines. This lead VOLVO to require an oil that meets both VDS-2 and EO-N Premium Plus quality or both VDS-2 andAPI CI-4 quality standards for model year 2003 through 2006 VOLVO engines. Earlier engines also work better withthese oils. They are not required, but are strongly recommended.

CautionExtra oil additives must never be added to any engine oil used.

VDS-4 and EO-O Premium Plus are both based onthe newly developed API CJ-4 engine oil specification, but have additional performance requirements essential toadequately protect the VOLVO engines at the drain intervals specified.

The VDS-4 quality standard is based on the newly developed API CJ-4engine oil specification, but has additional performance requirements essential to adequately protect the VOLVOengines at the drain intervals specified. So, all engine oils recommended in this Service Bulletin also meet the VDS-2,VDS-3, EO-N Premium Plus and API CJ-4 specifications. Pre-2010 engines also work better with the recommendedengine oils.

Exhaust Stanchion Mounted – Fuel Tank Ventilation Filter

The fuel tank ventilation filter is added to the fuel tank vent lines and mounted on the stanchion exhaust bracketat the right side of the truck. This is for extremely dusty applications.

Engine Intake Air Filter

CautionThe condition of the engine intake air filter is monitored by the air cleaner pressure differential sensor mountedon the air filter housing. Continued operation with the air cleaner pressure differential sensor gauge showing in

the red (indicating a clogged air filter) may cause damage to the engine. Also, operating the engine with adamaged air filter allows dust to pass directly into the engine, causing damage. Promptly replace clogged or

damaged air filters.

Air Pressure Differential Sensor

Note: In some cases, the sensor may be connected to a telltale signal on the instrument panel which illuminates whenthe air filter needs to be changed. Refer to the vehicle operator's manual for additional information.

21 / 26



The air cleaner pressure differential sensor gauge should be inspected regularly to monitor the condition of the air filter.Replace the main air filter when indicated by the sensor gauge or after a maximum of two years, whichever comes first.The optional extra filter insert should be changed with every third main air filter change.

Engine Coolant

CautionVOLVO Trucks North America recommends using a proper mixture of approved antifreeze and water in theengine cooling system. VOLVO Trucks North America does NOT recommend using only plain water as a

coolant. Water alone is corrosive at engine operating temperatures and does not provide adequate boil-over

22 / 26



protection. With plain water as a coolant, the boiling point is lower compared to a proper antifreeze and watermixture, allowing the cooling system to develop corrosion and cavitation problems in the engine and radiator.

Failure to follow VOLVO Trucks North America's cooling system care/maintenance recommendations canrender the warranty invalid.

Note: Antifreeze is hazardous to humans and animals if ingested. Always dispose of coolant according to Federal orlocal regulations. Dispose of used coolant at a recycling or waste collection center.

With a manual transmission, the engine coolant system capacity is approximately 50 liters (53 US quarts) . With anI-Shift automatic transmission, the capacity is approximately 59.5 liters (63 US quarts).

Change the coolant filter and coolant according to the intervals in the following table:
