Scheduled Oil Service
NOTICE!
All oil used for oil changes or added between
changes must meet the
.
For a schedule of oil change intervals, refer to the
Maintenance Schedule
.
NOTICE!
Mineral oil is required for the first 50 hours.
After the first 50 hours,
synthetic
oil can be used in
the engine. If Volvo Penta synthetic oil for gasoline
engines is used, the change interval is every year or
every 200 hours, whichever occurs first. When an
engine has been run on synthetic oil, our recommen-
dation is to continue with synthetic oil;
do not
change
back to mineral oil. Oil added between changes must
be synthetic oil.
Always change the oil filter every time the oil is
changed.
Checking Engine Oil Level
The oil level must be between the full
D
and add
E
marks on the dipstick
C
. If the engine is not in a hori-
zontal position, the oil level on the dipstick will not be
accurate. If the oil level is checked with a cold engine,
the oil level on the dipstick could be above the actual
level. If the oil level is checked directly after shutting
the engine off the oil level on the dipstick will be low.
To get an accurate oil level reading on the dipstick:
1 Run the engine to normal operating temperature,
then shut it off and wait at least 5 minutes.
2 Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
NOTICE!
Gas engines require a precise oil fill level to
operate correctly.
Overfilling results in high operating temperatures,
foaming (air in oil), loss of power, and overall reduced
engine life.
Information has been provided in Operators Manuals,
Workshop Manuals and other publications that provide
crankcase capacities for these engines. This informa-
tion is provided as a guideline for ordering parts and
planning service work.
To ensure the engine oil is filled to the correct level, the
level must always be checked on the dipstick. This
includes refilling the crankcase as part of changing the
engine oil.
