Volvo Penta 3887581 is a genuine OEM pipe retainer used in select Volvo Penta lubricating and oil-system assemblies. Current dealer schematic references place this part in the D6-280A-A lubricating and oil system, where it appears in the sump and oil-pump area alongside pipe 3807990, adapter 3583475, ferrule 980782, fitting nut 956984, and related bracket hardware. A current parts listing also identifies this retainer specifically as the version for plugged side.

Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable fitment for 3887581 is Volvo Penta D6-280A-A, based on current schematic references that place it in the lubricating and oil-system assembly for that engine family. Because the visible source material ties it to a specific oil-system diagram rather than a broad public fitment table, the safest compatibility statement is to match this retainer to the exact Volvo Penta engine schematic and serial-number-based application before ordering.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Match Volvo Penta part number 3887581 to your engine serial number and the correct lubricating or oil-system diagram before ordering. Pipe retainers and adjacent oil-system hardware can vary by engine version, production break, and assembly layout, even within the same general engine family. This fitment guidance is based on the part's schematic placement in the D6-280A-A oil-system assembly.
When This Part Needs Replacement
This pipe retainer should be replaced when it is bent, cracked, corroded, loose, or damaged during service, or when it no longer secures the related pipe correctly in the assembly. It is also smart to inspect or replace it when adjacent oil-system parts are already apart, especially around the sump, oil pump, and related hard-line hardware. This service guidance is an inference from the part's placement in the lubricating and oil-system schematic.
Installation Notes
Confirm the exact application in the correct Volvo Penta schematic before installation, and compare the removed retainer carefully against the replacement part. Inspect the related pipe, mounting point, bracket surfaces, and surrounding fasteners before reassembly. On engine oil-system hardware, correct application and secure retention matter more than a quick visual match. This guidance is based on the surrounding components shown in the current parts breakdown.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
The reviewed sources list 3887581 as the active genuine Volvo Penta OEM number. No clearly supported superseded Volvo Penta replacement number surfaced in the current source set.
Parts Desk Insight
With small retainers like this, the easy mistake is focusing only on the pipe and overlooking the hardware that keeps it positioned correctly. Matching the exact oil-system diagram first usually saves time, especially when nearby retainers and brackets in the same assembly can look very similar on the bench.
