How to change Volvo penta lower unit gear oil

[@donmulchinock6131]

You won't have as much oil leak out if you screw in the dipstick at the end. Also after you should check the dipstick again at the end to make sure your 2 pumps was enough or too much. Good video.

Fellow Reinell owner here, thanks for the great video!

[@BruceBolbat]

Nice Job. Easy and clear to follow. Nice tips on the metal filings being caught by the magnetic plug.

[@sonnyley]

Thanks and glad it helps

[@frankcastle4169]

Thank you! Helped me out. Happy Boating

[@mosksky]

Great training video! Could you pls share link for the adapter?

[@danthony300]

the entire lower unit should be tilted as straight up and down as practical, so when you measure the oil, it is accurate.

[@mitchlewis535]

Great video. My only issue is getting out the damn drain plug. It’s always stuck solid. (Not rusted just stuck as we only use our boat in fresh water). I’ve tried a vise grip on the screw driver method and it won’t break free. Volvo really needs to design a better plug with an Allen head or something. (sigh)

[@jasonschwartz5852]

heat it up to get stuck drain plug out

[@mattswain8559]

Craftsman impact driver works wonders to get the plug out.

I'm about to do this on my "new" boat (same drive). Have done it for an outboard for many years, but this is new. Are there plastic washers on the drain plugs that need to be replaced each time? Does the rubber o-ring on the dip stick need to be replaced as well? Thanks for the video.

[@sonnyley]

No the plastic washer doesn’t need to be replace every time you change the gear oil unless it’s broken and also the o-ring as well

Thanks for posting this!

[@sonnyley]

You are very welcome

[@BruceBolbat]

Do you have a video on winterizing the engine and one on changing the oil in the engine?

[@sonnyley]

No sorry and I’ll post one when I get to it. too bz working now

[@BruceBolbat]

@@sonnyley Thanks. Also, can you comment on whether you need to verify that no water is stuck on either side of the thermostat?

[@JesseDomino]

Helpful video. thanks!

[@activeej8858]

How to change engine oil? Do you need to pump it out through the dip stick?

[@roaddog1973]

You can fill from the top if you rotate the props by hand while filling. A lot cleaner and easier.

[@gregk1179]

You can fill it from the mouth, while you jingle the lower unit also. It normally fills it complete.

[@MrMedicAdnan]

Won't trap air?

[@roaddog1973]

@@MrMedicAdnan Not if you are rotating the props by hand while filling.

This is precisely why I gave up on wearing gloves. Now I just get my hands dirty like a real man!

[@sonnyley]

Those are gloves from harbor freight lol

[@jamesrosenthal1211]

Where did you get the plug to lower unit to pump oil in ?

[@sonnyley]

@@jamesrosenthal1211 I think either war-mart.com or eBay

[@newhampshirelifestyle4233]

[@sonnyley]

I am away from home for work now and I will post it when I get home

[@mccorklehometeam]

Very good video!

[@sonnyley]

Thanks

[@tomaszjw]

Can you fill the oil from the top rather than from the bottom?

[@sonnyley]

Yes you can but sometimes it leaves air in between

[@corydurand5544]

Where do you get the adapter to fit in the drain plug hole?

[@sonnyley]

I ordered it from either eBay or Walmart.com

[@bodereiss]

What is the part called on eBay? I’m not finding it. Thx

[@cheveco1981]

Do I have make sure my outdrive is level?? I can see yours isn’t

[@sonnyley]

Yes if you want the exact amount of oil in the out-drive
