[C320-list] Transmission and Oil recommendations

[BAdams3491 at aol.com]

I beg to differ...my Yanmar/C320 guru says to use 15w40 diesel oil in the  
engine and straight 30w (for gas engines) in the transmission.  I have been  
doing that schedule (annually) for a number of years without problem.

Read the  book. It contains the required fluid types, quantities and  change
intervals. That having been said, I believe that your hull # has a  Kanzaki
trans. which takes .3 liters of the same oil the engine requires.  The engine
takes 2.6 qts. with a filter change.

Hi  Karl, 


Great article.  Thank you for  that. 


The article refers to a winterization checklist  on the association 
website, but I can't find it on the website.  Can  you point me to it? 


Thanks,
