Oil for Volvo Penta 120 SE base – Pogo 850

[Gérard (POGOYELO)]

Hello,

The workshop manual I have – 02-2001 edition – specifies API GL5/SAE 75W/90 synthetic oil for the 120 SE baseplate – the case of my Pogo 850, but the local shipchandler told me that Volvo had revised its recommendation and that grade 15W40 was now to be used, which I doubt very much as this is a very heavily used clutch mechanism.

Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me on this point, I don’t have a Volvo dealer or workshop nearby.

Happy sailing to all,

Gérard
