These are found in the same order on the following pages. 1 Find out which service category the component belongs to. 2 Use the information in the table below Service intervals and determine which service recommendation should be used. The following procedure can be very useful when deciding which oil to use. 3 Use the information under Oil grade and Viscosity to determine which oil should be used.
Oil grade Viscosity For TRAP-HD and driving in VS and VS+ driving conditions, according to definitions for EOC “Engine Operating Conditions (EOC)” page 3, oils 97315 or SAE50 are recommended. Standard service recommendation Alternative service recommendation Transmission oils which comply with the grade requirements for Volvo transmission oil 97305 or engine oils which comply with any of the following grade requirements 1 API CD, CE or CF (monograde) 2 ACEA E1, E2 or E3 (monograde) should be used.

Please refer to “Viscosity” page 23 to decide which of the two oils should be used. Standard service recommendation Alternative service recommendation Viscosity is selected in accordance with the diagram below. T1008406 Temperature values refer to constant air temperatures. 1) Applies to engine oils: Note that multigrade oils ARE NOT to be used in manual gearboxes. Use only monograde engine oil SAE 30, SAE 40 or SAE 50. If a TC-MAOH or TC-MAOH2 oil cooler is fitted, SAE 50 engine oil must be used. NB! If the temperature is lower than -25 C, use the alternative service recommendation.
Gearboxes with TC-MWO, TC-RWO, TC-MWOH or TC-MWOH2 oil coolers can run in ambient temperatures higher than +30 C with SAE30, SAE40 or SAE80W90 engine oils. Viscosity is selected in accordance with the diagram below. T1008401 Temperature values refer to constant air temperatures. If oil cooler TC-MAOH/-MAOH2 is fitted, transmission oils which comply with the grade requirements for Volvo transmission oil 97315 must be used.
