[C320-list] Yanmar Transmission Oil

[jim brown]

I believe the correct oil is on the id plate on the transmission

My manual says 15w40 for the engine and 30w for the Kanzaki trans...that's  
what I use.

I could not find  anything in my Yanmar manual regarding type and weight of 
oil in the  transmission of my Yanmar 3GM30F.

I emailed the Mack Boring rep. who  gave a presentation at the Catalina 
Rendezvous last summer. He said they  recommend 15-40 weight oil. Has 
anybody 
received any  info. from  Yanmar or a Yanmar dealer technician regarding 
what 
they recommend?   Motor oil or diesel?

Thanks very much.
