Video Description

The video above shows you how to add oil to your 1990 Volvo 740. Before adding oil to your 740, make sure that your engine was cold and that your car was parked on a level surface when you checked the oil level otherwise you won't be able to tell if your 740 has a low oil level. For most Volvos, if your oil level is at the minimum mark on your dipstick, you should add about a quart of oil. If you are unsure how much oil to add to your 740, add a little bit at a time and check your dipstick frequently. This video shows you where the oil fill cap is located on your 740 and how to add oil. Adding too much oil to your 740 can be harmful, so it is easiest to add a little at a time.
