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 housing and
let the oil run out. If oil is discolored, contact an au-
thorized Volvo Penta workshop. Reinstall plug and O
ring. Always replace a damaged O ring with a new
one.
NOTE! Deposit the used engine oil at a properly
designated disposal site.
Remove the protective cover and remove the oil filling
plug, together with its seal. Fill up with new oil. Please
refer to “Technical Data” for grades and quantities.
Fold the drive down.
Use the dipstick after a while, to check the oil level.
The dipstick must
not be screwed down when the oil
level check is done. If the level is too high, drain
some oil off. If the level is too low, top up the oil
through the dipstick hole.
Check tightening of the dipstick and drain plug. Re-
install the protective cover.
Oil level Power Trim
Trim the drive in as far as possible. Check the oil lev-
el is between the MAX and MIN markings on the oil
container. Top up if necessary using ATF oil. Cleanli-
ness 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.
