Running In The Engine; Fuel, Oils And Coolant; Maintenance And Replacement Parts - Volvo Penta D16 Operator's Manual

Introduction

Running in the engine

The engine must be run in during the first 10 hours of
operation. Do this by using the engine in normal
operation, where full load is only applied for short
periods of time. Never run the engine at constant
speed for any longer periods of time.
Since oil consumption is higher during the running in
period, be sure to control the oil level more frequently
than normally recommended. See Maintenance for
more information.

Fuel, oils and coolant

Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the
Operator's Manual, other viscosity and quality may
cause malfunctions, increased fuel consumption and
possibly shorten the life of the engine.
Always change the oil, oil filters and fuel filters at the
specified maintenance intervals.
Make sure to always use suitable and correctly mixed
coolant.
If an unsuitable coolant has been used, or if the
instructions for coolant mixture have not been
followed, future warranty claims related to engine and
accessories may be denied.

Maintenance and replacement parts

Volvo Penta engines are designed for maximum
reliability and long life and built to withstand a
demanding environment. The engines are also

quality as genuine Volvo Penta parts. If reliable and
purpose-built parts are not used, your safety, health,

dealers.
