Checking Volvo Stern Drive Oil
Dipstick Shown At Full Level
Pulling Dipstick
Drive Housing Top
It is recommended to check the drive oil level on a weekly schedule.
Fully thread the dipstick into the hole. Remove the dipstick and make
sure the oil level is at the top of the mark as shown above.
If the oil level is low, add enough oil to bring the level to the top of the
mark on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. Tighten up the dipstick
with a slotted screwdriver.
If the oil color is milky in appearance there probably is water in the
unit normally caused by a leaking seal.
No metal akes should be present in the oil. If the above conditions
exist contact a Regal dealer.
FULLY THREAD OIL DIPSTICK INTO THE OIL LEVEL HOLE
IN THE DRIVE UNIT TO PROPERLY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL.
IMPROPER OIL LEVELS MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS STERN DRIVE COMPONENT DAMAGE.
