What can low oil do to my Volvo C40 Recharge engine?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Volvo C40 Recharge engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Volvo oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Volvo C40 Recharge exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Who can change the oil on my Volvo C40 Recharge?

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Volvo C40 Recharge oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.

What does it mean if my Volvo C40 Recharge oil light comes on?

The oil change light in your Volvo C40 Recharge could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.

Do I need to replace my C40 Recharge’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your Volvo C40 Recharge during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2024 C40 Recharge’s oil should be changed according to Volvo’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your C40 Recharge may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Volvo if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Volvo C40 Recharge. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
