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
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 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.
