[C320-list] Hurth Transmission Fluid Replacement

[Jon Vez]

I believe the 30W is for the Kanzaki tranny's on the Yanmars. The earlier
Perkins have Hurth's and I'm fairly certain they require actual Tranny
fluid...

What Bert said.  Straight 30W for the tranny.  Given he's hull 442,  
I'm hull 906, you're hull 98, things may indeed have changed.
