Lubrication System
Oil change intervalls may vary according to the lubri-
cation oil grade and fuel sulfur content.
Refer to Tech-
nical data, Lubrication system
.
NOTICE!
Oil change intervals must never exceed a
period of 12 months.
If longer oil change intervals than those given in Tech-
nical data are required, the condition of the oil must be
checked by the oil manufacturer via regular oil tests.
Oil level, checking and topping up
The oil level must be inside the marked area on the oil
dipstick and must be checked daily before the first
start.
•
The oil level can be read both when the engine is
stopped (the STOP side of the dipstick) and when it
is running (the OPERATING side of the dipstick).
Never fill past the MAX limit on the oil dipstick. Only
use Volvo Penta recommended oils; refer to
Tech-
nical Data page 65
.
•
Only fill when the engine is stopped. Fill oil through
the oil filler; refer to
Maintenance page 42
.
Check that the correct level is attained; wait a few
minutes before reading off the level so that the oil
has time to run down into the oil sump.
•
The oil level sensor only measures the oil level when
the ignition is switched to on, i.e. not continually dur-
ing operation.
