Lubrication System - Volvo D4 Operator's Manual

Lubrication system

IMPORTANT! With a new or reconditioned engine, the oil and oil filters must be changed after 20–50
hours of operation. Use only the recommended grades of oil.
Oil change intervals can vary from 50 to 200 hours, depending on engine type, oil grade and sulphur con-
tent of the fuel. Note that oil change intervals must never exceed a period of 12 months. If you want
longer oil change intervals than given in the table below, the condition of the oil must be checked by the oil
manufacturers through regular oil testing.
Oilgrade 1)
All engines:
VDS-2 and ACEA E7
or VDS-2 and Global DHD-1
or VDS-2 and API CH-4
or VDS-2 and API CI-4
1)
When oil quality specifications are joined by "or" (Type 1, 2 and 3), either engine oil specification can be
used.
When oil quality specifications are joined by "and" (Type 2 and 3), the engine oil must fulfill both require-
ments.
2) ACEA E7 has replaced ACEA E5, but if available ACEA E5 can be used.
3)
If sulphur content is > 1.0 % by weight, use oil with TBN >15.
NOTE! Mineral based oil, either fully or semi-synthetic, can be used on condition that it complies with the quality
requirements above.
