I use Rotella T 15-40 for my 3GM30F engine and 30-weight oil for the Kanzaki transmission.

The Yanmar Operators Manual says to use the same oil for the gear case as the crankcase. However, my PO left a quart of CD 30 oil labeled "For Transmission" and a Yanmar (Japan) manual "Maintenance of Pleasureboat Diesel Engine - GM Series" aboard specifies CD 10W15 for engine and CD 30 for gear oil. Since Believe's engine is the Japan version, I'm leaning toward the CD 30 oil. Make sense?
