Marine engines are oftern subject to greater wear than other engines. The reason is simple: Leisure craft are frequently run intensively for short periods and then laid up for long periods. It is therefore especially important to choose the correct oil, coolant and grease for marine applications. Not just for economic reasons but also to ensure safety at sea. Volvo Penta oils, for instance, contain many protective additives to minimize wear, mop up soot, sludge and metallic particles, neutralize acids, trap water and have preservative properties. They are also adapted  to the special demands of low emission engines. Volvo Penta oils are therefore the best you can give your engine. They ensure lower operating costs through lower oil consumption. They also extend the life of your engine and improve onboard safety.

DIESEL ENGINES

Viscosity: SAE 15W-40

VDS2 A multigrade oil, i.e. for use all year round. Developed for harsh conditions under heavy load and high temperatures. Complies with VDS-2, tested to Volvo's highest specification for purity and protection against wear, which involves long-term engine tests. Offer a string of advantages: longer intervals between changes, cleaner engines, reduced wear and combats cylinder polishing. Suitable for engines with or without turbocharger.  

 Packs:

1 l. – plastic bottle

5 l. – plastic container

20 l. – plastic container

210 l. – metal barrel

VDS-3 covers even more stringent requirements on piston cleanliness and bore polish compared to VDS-2, esuring the durability and reliability of the engines. The high quality of VDS-3 oils allows in certain cases an increase in drain intervals.

Viscosity: NLGI 1

Low temperature grease

A special grease recommended for low temperatures and loads. This grease is especially suitable for use on controls, hinges, lock parts and for greasing electric contacts, switches etc.

COOLANT

Volvo Penta coolant gives vastly superior corrosion protection in comparison with non-branded products. It also has good anti-freezing properties. The coolant is specially tested in Volvo Penta engines and is recommended for fresh water cooled engines. Ideal for modern engines (diesel and petrol) since the coolant contains additives that protect aluminium and aluminium alloys. Its characteristics also make it suitable for winter engine protection. When mixing the coolant with water, only use clean, high quality water.

Concentrate - Type 90 
Recommended dilution 40% coolant Type 90 + 60% distilled water.
