Marine engine oil analysis

A health check for your engine. Our Volvo Penta oil analysis provides you with an exhaustive engine diagnosis and valuable explanations in a clear, user-friendly fashion that can be used to enhance your engine's performance and efficiency.

Benefits of a marine engine oil analysis

Oil sampling by a Volvo Penta technician allows our engineers to get a good look at the health of your engine without having to take it apart. Oil analysis will show if your engine has any water intrusion, metal shavings, clutch wear, or indication of gear wear. This is done to determine exactly what service your engine requires.
When you undertake marine boat oil analysis, any repair time is reduced thanks to a clear understanding of the problem. The shortest possible troubleshooting time means your engine will be back in operation sooner.
The analysis provides early warnings, facilitating the maintenance and timely replacement of components before problems arise and any potential damage occurs.
Our oil laboratories are repositories of knowledge and expertise about Volvo Penta products. We can interpret and analyse results, and recommend suitable actions for your engine better than anyone else. Regular analysis shows any trends and offers enhanced control over your engine’s health management.
