[C320-list] Transmission and Oil recommendations

[BAdams3491 at aol.com]

It's a multi vis oil made for diesels...every diesel  truck owner I  know 
uses 15w40.  I've been using it in my Chevy Duramax for many  miles.

Not real  sure if you want to use multi-vis oil in a diesel but if you've had 
success,  keep going..

Every other diesel 'guru' I've ever spoken to or in  reading about diesels, 
specially Yanmars, they recommend 30W....same for the  trans

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,
