2006 XC90 Oil low stop safely light

Today was a below 0 degrees F day and while driving the message center came on with a red triangle and said oil low stop safely. When I stopped it said oil low shut off engine so I did.

Re: 06 xc90 chassis number location?

Thanks I'll look for a stamped #. I was looking for an attached plate of a different color.

06 xc90 chassis number location?

Hi All, I am looking for the chassis number for my 2006 xc90. I have read here that it is located in the engine compartment on the driver side fender well which is not visible due to the fuse panel and other equipment mounted above it. Do I need to remove somthing to look under it? Thanks.

It needed tires so I had new michelins put on it and a dealer alignment. Noise is still there. When it is making the noise I can swerve from side to side and the noise doe...

Re: Transmission hiccup on a 2004 Volvo XC70?

I had a hickup at a certain speed (not shifting) and injector cleaner and new plugs cured it. It wasn't a transmission problem at all but a power problem.

Re: Considering an 03 XC70

I have an 03 XC70 and have had none of the problems you state. I have had some transmission hickups. I replaced the fluid and have had good luck since, I would recommend doing this asap and on a regular schedule. I have some dash readout problems but nothing I can't deal with-the clock sometimes scr...

The radio and display work fine but the button lights and the steering wheel controls don't work. When I asked the company I purchased the radio f...
