[C320-list] Yanmar 3G 27 HP engine

[Ken Geiger]

Hi Doug.  My Yanmar 3gm30 manual says that there is 600 ml (20.3 oz) in the trans but only 300 ml (10.2oz) is in the sump for changing.  I am fairly sure this is correct because of an experiment I had to do when I found my Trans filled with Auto Trans fluid from previous owner.



When I do my change I am able to draw out almost exactly 300 ml and so replace it with 300 ml of 30w oil.



FWIW

In my notes from last year, I have 2 1/2 quarts written down. Just did it a few weeks ago and it was spot-on.  This is for my 1996 C320 with a 3GM30 installed.

Hope this helps.

If you're changing the transmission fluid, you'll need 15 ounces of 30 Weight as well.
