[C320-list] Lube gear Oil

30w for the engine is fine as long as it is rated for diesel  engines and 
not gas engines.  Oil not rated for diesels should never be  used in any 
diesel engine.

When I  first purchase my boat #606 I attended a very good diesel class. 
The told me  30w in both the engine and the transmission, ten seasons, no 
problems.

My Yanmar guru says diesel  15w40 in the engine and straight 30w in the 
transmission. Been working  fine for a number of years.

I have a 97 3GM30 Yanmar. I'm  looking for the specific brand and type 
lube oil used in the transmission.  Is it the same as the oil used in 
the engine or is it a different  viscosity/type? 

thanks
