On vehicles with single gears the oil is filled to the edge of level hole. On vehicles with hub reduction, the hub is first filled with oil in accordance with the table above. The differential carrier is then filled with oil up to the edge of the level hole. For a number of reasons not all rear axles can have the same service recommendations. They have therefore been divided up into different service categories. The service categories, numbers or letters, can be found on the ID plate on the final drive. The categories are G, 1 and 2.

This marking can be seen on the hub reduction covers. Page 3 of 6 sb31054_vbakv 3/11/2016 http://127.0.0.1:9905/impact3/application/staticdb/lang/enGB/sb31054_vbakv.xhtm
Note: If the final drive has no entry under service category on the ID plate, it belongs to service category G. Oil grade 1. SAE J 2360 or APL GL-5 2. Volvo Transmission oil 97312 Note: The choice of oil quality affects the service interval; see the table below. Viscosity Viscosity is selected in accordance with the diagram below. Temperature values refer to constant air temperatures. 1) When driving in severe conditions or frequently driving in very hilly road conditions, SAE 80W-140, SAE 85W- 140 or SAE 140 are recommended. 2) SAE 90 is not to be used in RAN281 rear axles. Note: SAE 80W/90 must not be used. Service intervals Page 4 of 6 sb31054_vbakv 3/11/2016 http://127.0.0.1:9905/impact3/application/staticdb/lang/enGB/sb31054_vbakv.xhtm
The service category the rear axle belongs to depends on where the vehicle is built. In some markets there can be vehicles with rear axles belonging to different service categories, and in these cases special care must be taken when planning the first oil change. First oil change: Following change intervals as shown in the table below: With construction site driving is extremely hilly conditions the oil shall be changed after 2500 driving hours when using transmission oil 97312, and after max 600 driving hours when using any other oil. For vehicles with hub reduction axles which are frequently driven at more than 90km/h the service interval shall be halved. Where GCW exceeds 80 tons and the ambient temperature exceeds 30°C for more than 1 month in the year, the change interval shall be halved. Replenishing oil level in rear axle When a rear axle oil level is to low, it must be topped up. The following then applies: If the same oil as is in the rear axle is used when topping up, there is no limit to how much oil can be filled or how many times the oil level can be topped up in the rear axle. If a different approved oil other than the one in the rear axle is used, then no more than one litre in total may be added. This is regardless of how many times the oil level is topped up. If more oil needs to be added, carry out a complete oil change instead. Oil change after repairing the rear axle Service category Interval Service categories 1 and G First oil change after 10 000 km or 4 weeks, whichever occurs first. Service category 2 First oil and filter change after 400 000 km or three years, whichever occurs first. Oil grade Service category G 1 and 2 Oil change interval (km) API GL-5 SAE J 2360 120 000/12 months 120 000/12 months Volvo Transmission oil 97312 180 000/12 months 1 400 000/36 months¹ 1 Note: This recommendation does not apply to RAN281.

If a component has been repaired, renovated or opened, an extra oil change must be carried out. This oil change should be carried out after 10 000 km or 4 weeks, whichever occurs first, after the component has been repaired, overhauled or opened. When the extra oil change has been completed, the component’s normal service recommendation applies.

1a. Volvo manufactured manual gearboxes Oil change volumes On gearboxes with transparent level plugs, the oil is to be filled up to the max-marking on the level plug (because the oil level will drop when the oil filter housing has been filled).

the centre and max marking on the transparent level plug. On gearboxes without transparent level plug, the oil is to be filled up to the edge of the level hole. If the gearbox has a rear power take off or an oil cooler, additional oil should be filled in accordance with the following table. Service categories For a number of reasons these gearboxes cannot have the same service recommendations. They have therefore been divided up into different service categories. The service categories, numbers or letters, can be found on the ID plate on the gearbox. The categories are G, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Note: If the gearbox has no service category marked on the rating plate, it belongs to category G.

Oil grade 1. Transmission oils: Volvo transmission oils 97305, 97307 or 97315. 2. Engine oils: API CE or CF; ACEA E2 or E3. Note: Only monograde oils. Note: The choice of oil quality affects the service interval; see the service interval table. Service category Restrictions G To apply the longer service interval for gearboxes R1000, R/SR1400, R/SR1700, R/SR 1900, SR1700+ Geartronic and SR1900+ Geartronic, certain conditions must be met: The gearbox should be equipped with an improved oil filter guard. The improved oil filter guard was introduced into production in August 1996. The oil filter guard can be retrofitted to older gearboxes. Replacement oil filter protection is available in spare part kits, part number 3094780 for gearboxes without retarders, and 3094781 for gearboxes with retarders. If the old type of oil cooler VXKYL7 (pipe cooler) is used on any of the gearboxes R1000, R/SR1400, R/SR1700, R/SR1900, SR1700+Geartronic and SR1900 +Geartronic, it is not possible to fit the improved oil filter protection on the gearbox. In these cases the longer service interval cannot be applied. It is possible to replace the old type of VXKYL7 with the new type of VXKYL7 (donut), however. With the new type of VXKYL7 it is possible to fit an improved oil filter guard, and if this is done the longer service interval can be applied. In addition to the oil cooler, the connection nipples in spare part kits 3094780 and 3094781 respectively are to be changed to part number 1671995. (The new type of VXKYL7 together with improved oil filter protection were fitted in production on all gearboxes with oil coolers from August 1996. The new type of VXKYL7 is the same oil cooler as COOL T1.) Page 3 of 6 sb31054_man 3/11/2016 http://127.0.0.1:9905/impact3/application/staticdb/lang/enGB/sb31054_man.xhtm
