Starting in Extreme Cold
Certain preparations must be made to enable engine
starting in extreme cold, and in some cases to make
starting possible at all:
•
Use a winter grade fuel (of a well-known make) that
is approved for the prevailing temperature. This
reduces the risk of paraffin wax precipitation in the
fuel system. At extremely low temperatures, we
recommend the use of a fuel heater.
•
Use a synthetic engine oil of a viscosity
recommended for the prevailing temperature to
achieve satisfactory lubrication. Refer to
. Synthetic lubricants are able
to handle a wider temperature range than mineral-
based lubricants.
•
Pre-heat the coolant with a separately-installed
electric engine heater. In extreme cases, a diesel-
fired engine heater may be necessary. Ask your
Volvo Penta dealer for advice.
•
Make sure the cooling system is filled with a coolant
mixture. Refer to
•
The batteries must be in good condition. Cold
weather reduces battery capacity. Increased battery
capacity may be necessary.
