How to top up and check the engine oil level on a Volvo XC40

Model: Volvo Xc40 MK 1 - Years 2017-2026
Part: Service warning light

In this video, we see how to top up and check the oil level on our Volvo XC40: we turn on the engine, and from the multimedia screen we go to the third page where we will find "vehicle status". Then we click on the buttons located on the left side of the screen on "status" to check the oil level. In the video, we see that it is close to the minimum, which is why the display tells us to top up the level with a liter of oil. Now we open the hood to access the filler cap, pulling the handle located in the driver's footwell twice. The filler cap is located on the top of the engine cover. Volvo uses Castrol Edge Professional 0W20 oil. After topping up, we check the level again from the multimedia screen.
