High Level (Overfilling)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: The oil may be very hot if the car has just been driven. Avoid contact with your skin. The transmission must not be operated if the oil level is too high due to overfilling. This can cause increased operating temperatures and oil leakage.
