FLUID/OIL

ILMOR blended synthetic 5W-30 is the recommended oil for use in

the MV8 5.7L, 6.0L and 6.2L engines. Synthetic 5W-50 is required for the 7.4L engine only.

Use of supplemental oil additives is not required. ILMOR blended synthetic contains all the

necessary additives for the MV8.

An oil change should be scheduled following the first 25 hours of operation and every

50 hours thereafter. Oil should also be changed if the temperature for any reason has ex-

ceeded 329 F. (165 C.) Always change the oil filter every time the oil is changed, using only

ILMOR-approved filters as listed in the Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual.

Operators should also verify the oil level prior to every operation, as indicated in the

Prior to Each Use section of this Owner’s Manual.

Damage to the engine by use of low-quality or non-specied oil as listed for ILMOR

MV8 engines will void the warranty on the engine.

The oil capacity for all four MV8 engines is five (5)

quarts during oil change.

The V-drive and direct drive

transmissions require lubrication to function

properly. Your dealer can verify the type of transmis-

sion in the boat, and the amount of transmission fluid/

oil varies according to the product. Fortunately, the

V-drive and direct drive transmissions requires only

modest attention, unless problems are suspected. If

there is the presence of fluid–usually foaming or bub-

bling–around the connection plates or the dipstick,

it indicates an overfill condition. A burnt odor from

the transmission is symptomatic of potentially serious

overheating issues that must be addressed by an autho-

rized ILMOR dealer immediately.

Damage to the engine by use of low-quality or non-specied transmission uid/oil

as listed for the V-drive and direct drive transmissions will void the warranty. Overll

or underll may also result in serious damage to the engine and is not covered under

warranty.

See the requirements for transmission fluid/oil in the V-drive and direct drive transmissions

manual.
