engine. Use of supplemental oil additives is not required. ILMOR blended synthetic contains
all the necessary additives for the MV8.
An oil change should be scheduled following the first 25 hours of operation and every
50 hours thereafter. Oil should also be changed if the temperature for any reason has ex-
ceeded 329 F. (165 C.) Always change the oil filter every time the oil is changed, using only
ILMOR-approved filters as listed in the Maintenance section of this Owner's Manual.
Operators should also verify the oil level prior to every operation, as indicated in the
Prior to Each Use section of this Owner's Manual.
Damage to the engine by use of low-quality or non-specified oil as listed for ILMOR
MV8 engines will void the warranty on the engine.
Damage to the engine by use of low-quality or non-specified transmission fluid/oil
as listed for the V-drive and direct drive transmissions will void the warranty. Overfill
or underfill may also result in serious damage to the engine and is not covered under
warranty.

The oil capacity for all three MV8 engines is five (5)
quarts during oil change.
The V-drive and direct drive
transmissions
requires lubrication to function
properly. Your dealer can verify the type of transmis-
sion in the boat, and the amount of transmission fluid/
oil varies according to the product. Fortunately, the
V-drive and direct drive transmissions requires only
modest attention, unless problems are suspected. If
there is the presence of fluid–usually foaming or bub-
bling–around the connection plates or the dipstick,
it indicates an overfill condition. A burnt odor from
the transmission is symptomatic of potentially serious
overheating issues that must be addressed by an autho-
rized ILMOR dealer immediately.
