[C320-list] Transmission and Oil recommendations

[Dennis Harris]

Just a question.  Why don't you use the oil specification recommended in the 
owner's (Yanmar for Yanmars) engine manual that came with the boat?  For 
3GM30F, API Classification CD, SAE Viscosity 15W40 for engine,  SAE 
Viscosity 30 for transmission (Article 3.1.2 Lube Oil).  And if you engine 
is not that model or make, refer to your engine manual.
