Volvo Penta 2002 engine oil

[trevorharris]

Hey all,

I have a Volvo Penta 2002 engine built in 1985. The manual says to use SAE 20/W30 oil but of course that's impossible to find nowadays. What are people using as an alternative? I'm usually operating in 10degC to 25decC temperatures.

Thanks!
Trevor

Most the guys on iBoats use 15W40 Diesel oil because it has more zinc in it.

With your temps you could use straight 30W
