Scheduled Oil Service
For a schedule of oil change intervals, refer to the
Volvo Penta full Synthetic Gasoline Engine Oil
Catalytic Converter Approved SAE 10W-40 is
recommended and should be used for oil changes. If
Volvo Penta oil is unavailable an alternative oil can be
used as long as it meets the
.
Always change the oil filter every time the oil is
changed.
Information has been provided in Operators Manuals,
Workshop Manuals and other publications that provide
crankcase capacities for these engines. This
information 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.
Checking Engine Oil Level
During the break-in period, slightly higher oil
consumption is possible. Check the oil level before
every trip. See
Engine Break-in: Gasoline Engines
(publication number 47700022) that came with your
engine.
After the break-in period, check the oil level according
to the
Maintenance Schedule
.
Frequent oil level checks are a good strategy to ensure
long engine life. Oil level checks help identify engine
service issues such as leaks and excessive oil
consumption before they become serious.
The oil level must be between the full
D
and add
E
marks on the dipstick
C
. If the engine is not in a
horizontal 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.
