Volvo Penta D6 genuine service parts are made to exacting standards to withstand the harsh saltwater environment in which marine diesel engines operate. Please call us if you need help with any technical issues regarding your Volvo Penta D6.
The heat exchanger and air cooler on any D6 should be cleaned and all the "O" rings should be changed, every 5 years to prevent overheating and joint corrosion. Older D6 diesel engines may run on Volvo green coolant and newer ones may use yellow VCS coolant. Please do not mix or change the coolant type once one or another has been used. If you are running on Volvo Penta green coolant, continue to use green coolant. Mixing yellow and green coolant can cause gelling and blockages within the cooling system.
