Adding Oil if Low
Adding Oil During Break-in Period
51216
NOTICE! All oil used for oil changes or added between
changes must meet the Engine Oil Specifications.
During the engine break-in period, until the piston rings
have seated, somewhat higher oil consumption is nor-
mal. Check the oil level before each trip during the
break-in period. Please see Engine Break-in:Gasoline
Engines, PN 47700022.
Maintain oil level between E (add) and D (full) on the
dipstick. If oil is added during break-in, use Volvo
Penta mineral oil for gasoline engines; if unavailable,
use a mineral oil that meets the Engine Oil Specifica-
tions.
Adding Oil After Break-in Period
Check the oil level frequently (see Maintenance Schedule for minimum intervals). 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.
Maintain oil level between E (add) and D (full) on the dipstick. If oil is added, use an approved Volvo Penta oil for
gasoline engines; if unavailable, use a high quality oil that meets the Engine Oil Specifications.
NOTICE! Mineral oil is required for the first 50 hours.
Scheduled Oil Service
NOTICE! All oil used for oil changes or added between changes must meet the Engine Oil Specifications.
For a schedule of oil change intervals, please refer to the chapter entitled 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 recommendation 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.
