Should I check my Volvo XC60 motor oil level?

Can I change my Volvo XC60 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Volvo XC60 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Do I need to change my XC60's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Your 2016 XC60’s oil should be changed according to Volvo’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your XC60 in the above table.
