Oil recommendations

Engine Designation	Oil quality	Sulfur content in fuel, by weight
		up to 0,5 %	0,5 – 1,0 %	more than 1,0 %1)
		Oil change interval, reached first in operation:
TAD1340–45VE TAD1350VE TAD1341–45GE TAD1350–55GE	VDS-2 2) VDS-3	600 hours or 12 months	300 hours or 12 months	150 hours or 12 months
TAD1351–53VE	VDS-3 VDS-4	500 hours or 12 months	250 hours or 12 months	125 hours or 12 months

NOTICE! Mineral based oil, either fully or semi-synthetic, can be used on condition that it complies with the quality requirements above. 1) If sulphur content is > 1.0% by weight, use oil with TBN > 15. 2) The oil must also comply with at least one of the following specifications: ACEA:E7, ACEA:E5, Global DHD-1, API:CI-4 eller API:CH-4.

VDS = Volvo Drain Specification

ACEA = Association des Constructeurs Européenne d’Automobiles

API = American Petroleum Institute

Global DHD = Global Diesel Heavy Duty

TBN = Total Base Number

Viscosity

Select the viscosity according to the table. The temperature values refer to stable ambient temperatures. * SAE 5W/30 refers to synthetic or semi-synthetic oils.

Fuel System

Feed pump
Feed pressure at 900 rpm	min 100 kPa (14.5 psi)
Feed pressure at 1800 rpm	min 300 kPa (43,5 psi)
Feed pressure at full load	min 300 kPa (43,5 psi)

Bypass valve
Opening pressure	400-550 kPa (58–80 psi)

Fuel specification

The fuel must comply with national and international standards for commercially supplied fuels, such as:

EN 590 (with nationally adapted environmental and cold weather requirements)

ASTM D 975 No 1-D och 2-D

JIS K 2204

Sulfur content: Complying with legal requirements in each country. If the sulfur content exceeds 0.5 weightpercent, the oil change intervals shall be changed, refer to Technical Data page 69. In some countries, higher quality requirements are set due to environmental reason, e.g. in Sweden (Environmental Class 1). These fuels show better emissions performance than the standard ones and can therefore be recommended. Due to lower density and/or viscosity, some of these environmental fuels can slightly decrease the maximum power output and also increase the volumetric fuel consumption.

Biodiesel (FAME)

Vegetable oil esters (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, FAME), also called "biodiesel", are increasingly available as a blending component in diesel fuels. Volvo Penta accepts the same FAME content as in major on-road fuels EN 590 and ASTM D975; i.e. today up to 7%, without any specific additional service requirements. Please contact your Volvo Penta Dealer for futher information. For engines produced after 1 Jan 2009 Volvo Penta accepts, with specific service requirements,

• max 30% FAME blend (FAME component in accordance with EN 14214 and diesel fuel in accordance with EN 590)

• max 20% FAME blend (FAME component in accordance with ASTM D6751 and diesel fuel in accordance with ASTM D975)

NOTICE!

Higher FAME blends will negatively impact performance, emissions and fuel consumption.

NOTICE!

Engines for emergency applications, e.g. genset standby, must only run with market diesel fuel with minimum FAME content.

NOTICE!

In case of cold starting problems shift to diesel fuel. Do not to use FAME below -10°C.

NOTICE!

Raw vegetable or animal oils do not meet EN 14214 and are not allowed as fuels or fuel blending components.
