Volvo 1992 240 owner manual Pg Rear axle oil, Power steering fluid, Brake fluid

1992 Volvo 240

WARNING! The oil may be very hot!

Do not use rags which can leave lint on the dipstick. The transmission is topped up via the dipstick tube.

The space between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick corresponds to 0.5 US qts (0.5 liter). Do not fill the transmission with too much fluid, since this can result in fluid being ejected from the transmission.

Too little fluid, on the other hand, can negatively affect transmission operation, particularly in very cold weather.
