Lubrication System
The engine has a pressurized lubrication system. The oil pump sucks oil from the oil pan and then pumps it to
the moving parts in the engine. The oil is cooled in the oil cooler (not all models) and cleaned in the oil filter. Al-
ways use Volvo Penta original oil filters, they have an integral relief valve that allows the oil to by-pass the filter
even if the filter is completely clogged.
IMPORTANT With a new or reconditioned engine, the oil and oil filters must be changed after 20-50 hours
of operation. After that they should be changed every 100 operating hours or at least once a year. Use
only oils of the recommended grade: See chapter Technical Data.
B
Oil level. Checking and topping up
Every day before starting check that the level is bet-
A
ween the Max and Min markings on the dipstick (A)
and that the level is sufficient for the planned jour-
ney.
Top up if necessary through the oil filler (B). See
chapter Technical Data for the grade of oil.
High performance engines usually have a higher oil
consumption than lower powered engines. Apart from
lubrication, the most important function of the oil is to
cool and remove heat from the internal components of
the engine. High performance engines produce
much more heat at full load than lower powered engi-
nes. So it is important that the correct oil level is al-
ways maintained. Check oil level daily.
