23909460 Oil | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta VDS-4.5 engine oil, SAE 15W-40, in a 5 litre container weighing 4.55 kg. VDS-4.5 is the heavy-duty grade, built on high-quality base oils and additive components that improve engine cleanliness and protect against piston deposits, and the 15W-40 is fully backward compatible with all older Volvo Penta diesel engines. It is also recommended for certain petrol engines, which the operator's manual for the engine settles. The same oil is listed as the 1 litre 23909459 and the 20 litre 23909461, so pack size is the only decision.

🔌 Function

Lubricates the engine's moving parts, carries heat away from them, holds soot and combustion products in suspension and protects internal surfaces against corrosion.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil gone black and thin well before the service interval is due
• Oil pressure low or slow to build when hot
• Level dropping between services
• Milky or creamy oil, pointing at coolant getting in
• Sludge or varnish on internal surfaces at service

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the engine's total oil capacity before ordering, since 5 litres will not fill every sump
• Confirm the label reads VDS-4.5 - the range also carries a VDS-3 oil in the same three pack sizes
• Renew the oil filter with the oil and log the hours run
• Also recommended for certain gasoline engines - refer to the operator's manual
