Operation
Engine break-in period
NOTE! To ensure proper lubrication during the
break-in period, do not remove factory
break-in oil until after the 20-hour break-in is
completed. The First Service inspection
should be carried out after 20 hours of opera-
tion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow engine break-in procedures can re-
sult in serious engine damage.
Never run an engine at a constant engine speed for long peri-
ods during the break-in period.
CAUTION!
Do not run engine at a constant RPM for prolonged
periods of time during the break-in period.
All Volvo Penta engines have been run for a short time during a
final test at the factory. You must follow the engine break-in
procedure during the first 20 hours of operation to ensure max-
imum performance and longest engine life.
During the break-in period, watch out for the following items
during the initial engine run:
1.
Check engine oil level frequently.
CAUTION!
Be sure to check the oil level frequently during the
first 50 hours of operation, since the oil consumption
will be high until the piston rings are properly seated.
The engine may use more engine oil during the running-in pe-
riod than would otherwise be normal. Check the oil level regu-
larly and more frequently during the running-in period.
•
Maintain oil level in the safe range, between the
ADD and
FULL marks on dipstick. Somewhat higher oil consump-
tion is normal until the piston rings have seated.
•
If you have a problem getting a good oil level reading on
the dipstick, rotate the dipstick 180° in the dipstick tube.
•
When adding engine oil, use Volvo Penta engine oils for
gasoline engines, or a good quality oil (API Service CE/SG
or better) of the same viscosity that meets General Motors
Specification GM-6094-M. Use the following chart to se-
lect the SAE viscosity that matches the temperature range
in which you expect to operate.

Recommended -
SAE 30 Volvo Penta DuraPlus Synthetic
Motor Oil (P/N 3851230-7 U.S. and Canada Only). If the rec-
ommended oil is not available , use
pure synthetic
multi-vis-
cosity oil.
The 3.0GS-B and 3.0GS-C may use a mineral base oil at first
service change interval. However, switching between mineral
based oils and synthetic oils is not recommended and may
cause engine damage.
NOTE! To ensure proper lubrication during the
break-in period, do not remove factory
break-in oil until after the 20-hour break-in is
completed.
2.
Watch the oil pressure gauge.
•
Oil pressure will rise as RPM increases, and fall as
RPM decreases. In addition, cold oil will generally
show higher oil pressure for any specific RPM than
hot oil. Both of these conditions reflect normal engine
operation.
•
If the oil indicator fluctuates when the boat is turning,
climbing on plane, etc., the oil pickup screen may not
be covered with oil. Check the oil dipstick. If required
add oil, but do not overfill. If the oil level is correct and
the condition persists, ask your Volvo Penta dealer to
check for possible gauge or oil pump malfunction.
3.
Watch the engine temperature indicator to be sure
there is proper water circulation.
NOTE! Failure to follow the break-in procedure may
void the engine warranty.
First two hours
1.
For the
first five to ten minutes
of operation, operate the
engine at a fast idle (above 1500 RPM).
2.
During the
remaining first two hours
of operation, accel-
erate to bring the boat onto plane quickly; bring the throttle
back to maintain a planing attitude.
During this period, vary the engine speed frequently by accel-
erating to approximately ¾ throttle for two to three minutes,
then back to minimum cruising speed.
3.
After the engine has reached operating temperature, mo-
mentarily reduce engine speed, then increase engine
speed, to assist break-in of rings and bearings. Maintain
plane to avoid excessive engine load.
NOTE! For this initial two hour break-in, do not run
the engine at any constant RPM for prolonged
periods of time.
