Oil change intervals can vary depending on oil quality,
refer to
Technical Data, page 79 .
Oil change intervals must never exceed a period of 12
months.
If you want longer oil change intervals than stated in
the table
Technical Data, page 79 , the oil change
interval can under certain conditions be increased. To
see if the engine complies, Volvo Penta oil analysis
need to be performed. Contact your Volvo Penta
dealer for further information.
Oil level, checking and topping up
Check the oil level with the engine shut down and in a
horizontal level.
The oil level must be within the marked range on the
dipstick.
There is a low level alarm installed as standard, but
make sure to check the oil level anyway every once in
a while.
Fill lubrication oil through the filler opening on the side
of the engine. Wait a few minutes to allow the oil to run
into the oil sump then make sure you have filled to the
right level. After filling oil, secure filler cap.
IMPORTANT:
Do not fill up above the maximum oil level. Only use a
recommended viscosity and quality of oil.
