Transmission lubricant, checking
and topping up
IMPORTANT:
The propulsion unit must be shut down for at least 12
hours before a correct oil level check can be done.
Check the oil level every day before starting the
engine.
Open the oil filler cap (1) so that excess pressure is
released. Undo the oil dipstick (3) with the aid of a
standard 1/2" extension (2). Dry off the oil dipstick and
replace it in the drive; do not screw down the oil dipstick
when checking the oil level. Pull out the oil dipstick
again and check the oil level. The correct level is within
the marked area.
Top off with oil through the oil filler (1); refer to Technical
Data, page 165 for oil grade and volume.
When checking oil level, also check that the oil does
not show signs of water emulsion. Oil should have a
golden-brown hue; a milky or gray color is an indication
of water emulsion. In this case let a Volvo Penta
workshop carry out a test.
