[C320-list] Haul Out

[Chris Burti]

Hi Joe and Welcome.

There are  several schools of thought on when to change oil. The
Yanmar Owner's Manual says every hundred hours. Some owners like to
change it at haulout and not have acidic oil eating at the metal parts
all Winter. Some like to start the season with fresh oil. One owner I
know, recommends at haulout and again in the Spring...his view is that
oil is cheap compared to  diesel repairs.

One thing all agree on is don't go with cheap filters. You can go into
the website tech section and get part numbers.
