Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this fits my engine?
First, check the "Compatible Engine Models" table to ensure your specific Volvo Penta model is listed. Second, cross-reference your existing part number with those in the "Part Number Cross-Reference" table. Matching both is the best way to guarantee a fit.
What is the difference between this filter and an OEM part?
This is an aftermarket filter designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. It offers comparable performance and filtration to the original Volvo Penta parts but at a more competitive price point.
How often should I replace my engine's air filter?
Refer to your Volvo Penta engine's service manual for the recommended replacement interval. We suggest inspecting the filter regularly, especially if operating in dusty or debris-heavy marine environments, and replacing it sooner if it appears dirty or clogged.
