Drive; Transmission Lubricant, Checking And Topping Up - Volvo Penta D1 Series Operator's Manual

Maintenance

Drive

The S-Drive is equipped with a sacrificial anode that
prevents galvanic corrosion. The galvanic protection
can be disabled by incorrect electrical installations and
suchlike. Damage caused by so-called electrolytic
corrosion can appear quickly and can often be
extensive. Read more about this in the Electrical
Installations, page 68 section.
Incorrectly performed stern drive painting or the wrong
type of hull paint may render the galvanic protection
ineffective. Read more about painting in the
Storage, page 78 section.
Transmission lubricant, checking
and topping up
Remove the oil dipstick by unscrewing it counter-
clockwise. Wipe the oil dipstick dry and replace it into
the drive/reverse gear, without screwing it down. Pull
out the oil dipstick again and check the oil level. The
correct oil level is between the MAX and MIN marks.
If required, top up oil through the oil dipstick hole. For
oil grade and quantity, refer to the Technical
Data, page 83 section
IMPORTANT:
Never over-fill the drive. The oil level must always be
within the recommended range.
