After the break-in period, check the oil level according
to the Owners Checklist.
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.
Overfilling results in high operating temperatures,
foaming (air in oil), loss of power, and overall reduced
engine life.
Adding Oil if Low
If oil is added, use Volvo Penta gasoline engine oil. If
the Volvo Penta oil is not available an alternative oil
can be used as long as it meets the Engine Oil
Specifications, page 107.
