High Level (Overfilling)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

The oil may be very hot if the vehicle has just been driven. Avoid skin contact with the transmission oil.

WARNING:

The transmission must not be operated if the oil level is too high. This can cause increased operating temperatures and oil leakage.
