Danger of blood poisoning. Always use fuels recommended by Volvo Penta. Refer to the Instruction Book. Use of fuels that are of a lower quality can damage the engine. On a diesel engine poor quality fuel can cause the actuating rod to seize and the engine to overrev with resulting risk of damage to the engine and personal injury.

6.3 Maintenance schedule The description applies generally for all engines unless otherwise stated. If longer oil change intervals are required than those stated below the oil’s condition must be tested regularly by the oil manufacturer. The time intervals are guides which apply to normal operating conditions. For new or reconditioned engines see chap. 2.2 “Running-in”. All operations in the maintenance schedule with the exception of points 8 and 19 must be carried out at least once per year even if the operating time in the schedule has not been reached.
