Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What type of fuel is compatible with the 2019-Present Volvo S60?

The 2019-Present Volvo S60 is compatible with premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. Using lower-octane fuel may reduce performance and fuel efficiency. The vehicle is also available in a plug-in hybrid variant (T8) that combines gasoline and electric power. Always refer to the owner’s manual for specific fuel recommendations and avoid using diesel or E85 ethanol blends, as they are not compatible.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the Volvo S60's fuel system?

The Volvo S60 requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal fuel system performance. This includes replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles, inspecting fuel lines for leaks or wear, and using fuel system cleaners periodically to prevent carbon buildup. For the T8 plug-in hybrid, ensure the electric charging system is functioning properly. Adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals, typically every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first.

Q3

How do I replace the fuel filter in a Volvo S60?

To replace the fuel filter in a Volvo S60, first, locate the filter, usually found near the fuel tank. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and running the engine until it stalls. Disconnect the fuel lines and remove the old filter. Install the new filter, ensuring proper orientation, and reconnect the fuel lines. Reconnect the battery and start the engine to check for leaks. Always consult the service manual for detailed instructions.

Q4

What should I do if my Volvo S60 has poor fuel efficiency?

If your Volvo S60 experiences poor fuel efficiency, check for common issues such as a dirty air filter, low tire pressure, or a malfunctioning oxygen sensor. Ensure you are using the recommended fuel type and avoid excessive idling or aggressive driving. If the problem persists, inspect the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and fuel system for potential issues. A diagnostic scan tool can help identify error codes related to the engine or fuel system.

Q5

How can I optimize the fuel performance of my Volvo S60?

To optimize fuel performance, use premium unleaded gasoline and maintain proper tire pressure. Regularly replace air filters and spark plugs, and ensure the engine is tuned correctly. For the T8 plug-in hybrid, maximize electric driving by charging the battery frequently and using the hybrid mode efficiently. Avoid carrying unnecessary weight and drive smoothly, avoiding rapid acceleration or braking. Periodic fuel system cleaning can also enhance performance.
