Synthetic Gasoline Engine OilSAE 30 Synthetic Engine Oil (SAE 10W-40 Synthetic Engine Oil) Volvo Penta has discontinued the straight 30 weight oil and now recommends SAE 10W-40 synthetic. Volvo Penta states that the straight 30 weight oil and the new 10W-40 multi-grade can be used together with no issues. For gas engines newer than 2002. For diesel engines, Volvo no longer offers synthetic 20 weight oil (40005015 (quart) and 21153635 (5 gallon). Viscosity: SAE 10W-40 |

Synthetic Transmission OilA fully synthetic oil of the highest quality for drives and transmissions. Specially tested by Volvo Penta in drives and transmissions. Because the oil is synthetic, it provides excellent protection against wear at both high and low extremes of temperature. It also withstands very high temperatures without breaking down, and can tolerate high loads without wear. Viscosity: SAE 75W-90, SAE 75W-140 Note: SAE 75W-140 is for heavy-duty, long runs, and higher water temps per owner's manual on certain drives.

Heavy Duty Coolant - Ready MixedAn ethylene glycol based antifreeze containing inhibitors from freezing, overheating, rust, and corrosion when used as recommended. Protects all cooling system metal surfaces including aluminum.Will not damage finishes or rubber. You do not need to add water to the ready-mixed coolant. Shipping weight: 9.8 lbs per gallon. Protects down to -25° C. Yellow and green coolants may not be mixed. |
Coolant System CleanerHigh engine temperature can be caused by build-up of deposits in the cooling system and can occur after long running times or use of mineral rich watetr. When this occurs, the cooling system must be cleaned. This cleaner is a citric acid-based solvent with the addition of a neutralizer. For green coolant only.

For a list of Volvo Penta Chemical Products and their Aftermarket Equivalents, click here.
Marine Parts Express recommends that customers with older gas engines and outdrives NOT use the synthetic oil in the engines or drives because of overheating issues.
If you have been using synthetic oil with no problems, then we recommend you continue to do so and not switch back.
