So I was tired of giving the Dealer my $$$, so I did my own oil change. I got the car (2009 xc70) last year with the Certified Pre-Owned Warranty, so the last 2 oil changes were on THEM. Ahead with my story...Drained the oil, changed the filter (eazy- Peazy)...the manual read: 7.82quarts w/ filter. I put in the recommended amt...may have been a tad more due to the .82. Ran the motor, checked the oil...the oil on the dipstick barely reaches the MIN line. Clearly if I put in a quart more, then I am at 8.82...nearly 9 quarts....??????? What do I do ?

    bizarre question- do you think it is orig Volvo dipstick? Does stick go all the way into tube? check o-rings, etc. No way that your pan will hold that much oil.

      Wait 15 minutes after shutting off a warm engine before you check the oil. Then add to full mark. And don't worry if it's not exact. As long as the level is in the crosshatch area, it's ok.
