Oil change
Remove the oil dipstick (A). Trim the DP drive up as
far as possible, trim the DPX drive in (forward) as
far as possible. Remove the plug on the gear hous-
ing and let the oil run out. If oil is discolored, contact
an authorized Volvo Penta workshop. Reinstall plug
and O ring. Always replace a damaged O ring with a
new one. Deposit the used engine oil at a properly
designated disposal site.
Remove cover and remove oil filler plug and o-ring.
Fill with oil. See “Technical Data” for grades and
quantity. Let down the drive.
After a while check the oil level with the dipstick.
The dipstick should not be screwed down when
checking the level. If the level is too high oil must be
drained off. If the level is too low top up with oil
through the dipstick hole.
Check the tightening of the dipstick and bottom plug.
Reinstall the cover.
Oil level Power Trim
Trim the drive in as far as possible. Check the oil
level is between the MAX and MIN markings on the
oil container. Top up if necessary using ATF oil.
Cleanliness is extremely important, no dirt must get
into the drive when topping up with oil.
If the system has been drained, fill with new oil and
trim the drive in and out 6–10 times to vent the sys-
tem. Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
