Overview
The Volvo Penta 30788490 is a genuine OEM cartridge-style engine oil filter kit for later-generation Volvo Penta D3 marine diesel engines. The kit includes the replaceable filter insert and the O-ring seal required for complete oil filter service. It installs inside the D3 oil filter housing and is specified by Volvo Penta for D3 generation D through H engines (MY2010 and later). Earlier D3 A-C engines use a different filter — see Volvo Penta Oil Filter 8692305 for those applications.

This kit is for D3 generation D–H engines (MY2010 and later) only. Horsepower alone is not sufficient to identify the correct filter — always confirm by engine generation suffix and serial number. For D3 A-C engines, see Volvo Penta Oil Filter 8692305.
Serial Number Requirements
Confirm your engine model, generation suffix (D, E, F, G, or H), and serial number before ordering. Volvo Penta separates D3 oil filter applications by generation — the generation suffix in your engine designation is the most reliable way to confirm the correct filter.

- Lubricate the new O-ring with clean engine oil before installation

- Ensure the filter element is correctly seated in the housing
- Reinstall the housing lid and torque to the Volvo Penta specification
- Run the engine, inspect for leaks, then recheck oil level before returning to service
Technical FAQ
Q: What is the difference between 30788490 and 8692305?
A: 30788490 is for later D3 generation D–H engines (MY2010 and later). 8692305 is for earlier D3 A-C engines (up to MY2009). The generation suffix in your engine model is the key identifier.
Q: Does this kit include the O-ring?
A: Yes — the kit includes both the filter insert and the O-ring seal. The O-ring should always be replaced with the filter element, not reused.
Q: How do I confirm this is the right filter for my engine?
A: Check your engine model designation for the generation suffix (D, E, F, G, or H) and confirm against your engine serial number. If you have a D3 with a suffix of A, B, or C, you need the earlier filter — 8692305.
Parts Desk Insights
The most common ordering mistake with D3 oil filters is not checking the generation suffix. Customers often search by horsepower or engine family and miss the A-C vs D-H split — and the two filters are not interchangeable. The generation letter at the end of the engine designation (e.g., D3-170I-H) is the fastest way to confirm the right filter. It’s also worth reminding customers that the O-ring in the kit should always be replaced with the filter — reusing an old seal on a cartridge filter is a common cause of post-service oil seepage.
