Warranty

The warranty is not valid if Volvo Truck Corporation
can show that it is likely that the material defects or
incorrect operation, for which the warranty has been
invoked, is the result of:

The vehicle not being driven in accordance with the

•

applicable Volvo Truck Corporation instructions, e.g.
that the stipulated warranty, basic or full servicing
has not been carried out at the correct time and/or
running hours interval (a service that has not been
registered by Volvo Truck Corporation or recorded
in this booklet is considered not to have been
performed, unless absolute proof can be shown).

Other parts than original parts from Volvo Truck

•

Corporation have been used.
Other oils, greases or coolant fluids than those

•

recommended by Volvo Truck Corporation have
been used.

The above text is only an extract from the Warranty
booklet. Refer to the Warranty booklet forcomplete
warranty terms, conditions and requirements.

Oil grade

VDS, VDS-2, VDS-3
alternatively API CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4
or ACEA E2, E3, E4, E5

Viscosity

The viscosity is selected in accordance with the table.
Temperature values refer to constant air temperatures.

1) Only VDS-2 or VDS-3 oils.
When using 10W/30, fuel consumption can be

lower than when using 15W/40. Note however the
temperature interval recommended for 10W/30.

Note that a combination of several of the above named
qualities is required in some cases.

Note: Extra oil additives are not to be used. This includes
engine and metal treatment additives added to the engine
oil.

Engine oil, change intervals

Service intervals: First oil and filter change is at the warranty service after

10,000 km or 4 weeks, whichever occurs first. Except all
vehicles manufacturedin Europe.

Limits to the tables on the following pages

Definition of “Other oil grade” on the following pages:

•

Oils which meet at least one of the following ACEA E2,
E3, E4, E5; API CF, CF-4, CG–4, CH-4, CI-4.

D13A engine:

•

Oil change intervals for the D13A engine must not

•

exceed 12 months.
If the sulphur content in the fuel exceeds 0.05 per

•

cent by weight, the oil change interval should be
reduced to 2/3 taking into account the distance
driven, engine running hours and calendar time.

If the sulphur content in the fuel exceeds 0.5 per

•

cent by weight, the oil change interval should be
reduced to 1/3 taking into account the distance
driven, engine running hours and calendar time.

Note: These sulphur level limitations and oil change

intervals can also be applied for other engines,

although this is not mandatory.
This applies irrespective of mileage, engine hours,
calendar period or amount of fuel consumed.
Fuels with extremely low sulphur content,
such as environmentally classed fuels, do not
permit the service interval to be extended.

Other engines:

•

No oil change interval is allowed to exceed 6
months.

If the sulphur content in the fuel exceeds 0.5
percentage by weight, the oil change interval

should be halved.
This applies irrespective of mileage, engine hours,
calendar period or amount of fuel consumed.
Fuels with extremely low sulphur content, such as
environmentally classed fuels, do not permit the
service interval to be extended.

Full flow filter, longlife, with part number 478736 should

•

be used if the oil change interval exceeds 30,000 km.
All 16 litre engines must use filter 478736 irrespective
of oil change interval.

fulfilled:

The gearbox should be equipped with an improved oil filter guard. The improved oil filter guard

The replacement oil filter guard is available in the spare parts kit with part number 3094780 for

It is, however, possible to replace the old type VXKYL7 with the new type VXKYL7 (donut). With
the new type of VXKYL7, it is possible to fit the improved oil filter guard and in this way the
alternative service recommendation can be used.
In addition, the connection nipple in the spare part kits 3094780 or 3094781 must be replaced
with part number 1671995. (The new type of VXKYL7 together with the improved oil filter guard
is fitted in production on all gearboxes with oil coolers from August 1996. The new type of

The following procedure canbe very usefulwhen deciding
which oil to use.

1 Find out which service category the component

belongs to.

For a number of reasons not all rear axles can have the
same service recommendations. They have therefore
been divided up into differentservice categories.

T1006943

The service categories, designated by a number or a
letter, are indicated on the rating plate located on the
rear axle. The categories are G, 1 and 2.

Note: If the rear axle does not have a service category
marked on the rating plate, it belongs to Service
category G.

Two different service recommendations can be applied
to rear axles:

Standard service recommendation

•

Alternative service recommendation

•

The alternative service recommendation provides longer
service intervals than standard service recommendation.
The alternative service recommendation requires the
use of special oils. Limits in the table must howeverbe
observed.

Service­category

G The alternative service recommendation

The standard service recommendation and alternative
service recommendation both consist of three parts.
The three parts are oil grade, viscosity and service
intervals. These are found in the same order on the
following pages.

The following procedure canbe very usefulwhen deciding
which oil to use.

1 Find out which service category the component

belongs to.

2 Usetheinformationin the tablebelowServiceintervals

and determine which service recommendation should
be used.

3 Use the information under Oil grade and Viscosity to

determine which oil should be used.

Restrictions when using alternative

must not be used for rear axle RAN281.

Customers can always select the service recommendation
they prefer after taking into consideration the relevant
restrictions described in the following table.

Oil change after repairing the rear axle

If a component has been repaired, renovated or opened,
an extra oil change must be carried out. This oil change
should be carried out after 10,000 km or 4 weeks,

whichever occurs first, after the component has been

After the first oil change, the oil should be

•

changed every 90,000 km or every second
year, whichever occurs first.

RET-TH

When the retarder is operated frequently under specific
conditions, oil change intervals should be halved. An
example of such conditions are:

use in areas with high ambient temperatures, such as

•

in Saudi Arabia
timber trucks and construction site vehicles

•

high gross weight and low engine power (less than

•

8 hp/ton)

First oil change after 120,000 km or 2 years,

•

whichever occurs first.
After the first oil change, the oil should be

•

changed every 120,000 km or every second
year, whichever occurs first.

Propeller shaft lubrication

There are both lubricated and non-lubricated (no service
required) propeller shafts. Lubricated propeller shafts are
equipped with support bearings and/or universal joints
fitted with grease nipples. Propeller shafts which are
completely non-service required do not have lubricating
nipples, neither on universal joints nor on support
bearings.

Two different service recommendations can be applied to
lubricated propeller shafts. (Does not applies to FLC.)

a lot of driving under extremely hilly road conditions

•

extremely short distances with very steep downgrades.

•

In individual cases, where the retarder is used more than
10 % of the vehicle’s mileage, the service interval must be
reduced. This also applies to factors not mentioned here,
which can affect the ageing of the oil.

The service interval for repaired or opened components
are the same as for new components.

The customer can always choose the service
recommendation preferred. Both service
recommendations are subdivided into grease
quality and service intervals.
