[C320-list] Oil Change on the Hard

[Chris Burti]

I've used a hose to warm the oil to change it in the V-8 in our ski boat for years, but I don't believe that a bucket will hold enough water for a diesel.

Thanks,
Chris Burti

Warm oil is nice and flows easier but not absolutely necessary. Unless it
is very cold there.
