2014 Volvo XC70 maintenance schedule

Applies to: 2014 XC70 (3.0L T6 turbo and 3.2L six-cylinder). Volvo's 2014 chart covers all of its 2014 models; items for other models are left out. The air-filter interval depends on the engine code (code 90 or codes 94/95); the code is part of the VIN, so confirm yours with a Volvo dealer.

Schedule type: fixed

Fixed service visits every 10,000 miles, each with an oil and filter change, from the Maintenance Service Operations chart in Volvo's 2014 warranty and maintenance booklet. The chart runs to 150,000 miles. It lists coolant checks but no coolant change. Automatic transmission fluid is changed only for towing or when the car asks for it. Summarized in our own words from the sources listed. Always follow the owner's manual or your dealer for your specific vehicle (VIN, engine, and options).

Checked against the official document for model year 2014; other years in this range are assumed to follow it. Confirm in your owner's manual.
