Topic starter

Hello I have a 2015 Volvo S60 I would like to know I changed my oil a few months ago now on my dashboard access that 1 qt is missing Should I buy a quarter of oil and add inside or should I just change the oil and that's it what would be the best choice 


Is that the the 2.0T/TT or the 1.6T engine?
I wonder if that's the new VEA engine or the EcoBoost?


It's the 2015 volvo 2.0 turbo


1969cc VEA is used by Geely, not a "real" Volvo engine.
1999cc EcoBoost is a modified Ford engine.
The only real Volvo engines on the S60 are T5 and SI6.


Yea mine is a 2015 volvo s60 t5 premiere

Hello!

You haven't provided milage of the car. First check for oil leaks. Perhaps you haven't tighened enough the oil drain plug or the oil filter (or its housing, whatever yor car has) or perhaps double gasketing occured.

If there are no leaks, you have the oil burner and you will have to monitor oil level and add it when needed.

Good luck!

The mileage is 86,600 every time i bring the car to the shop they say it's dry no leaks nothing


I'm not near the car I'm giving you the rough mileage that I remember


Approximate mileage is enough. What kind of car shop is it?


It's a regular mechanic shop they do all kinds of cars


If they did the job as they should, your car burns oil.

Assuming it was filled properly - It's burning oil.

With a 2.0T (VEA or EcoBoost) that's not surprising.

 

Add oil regularly and look at its condition - replace oil every 5k miles anyway.

Monitor how severe it is.

 

If it beings to burn more than 1.5 Qrt/1000 Miles (1L/1000KM) then you should look into replacing it.

 


It just says oil level low refill 1 quart/liter


Yes you’re wrote that previously, What I wrote is how to act if your car begins to burn oil (if the oil isn’t leaking, it’s probably getting burned)
It’s also worth replacing the PCV valve, but it’s might be complex on a turbocharged engine
