[C320-list] Yanmar 3G 27 HP engine

[Gene Helfman]

I concur on oil volume.  Manual reads 2.7 liters, including what was in the
filter.  Changed oil last week and that was correct, assuming you suck out
all the old stuff.  I keep an old milk jug with a sharpie mark at 2.5
liters, transfer new oil into that jug first so I'm not having to read the
indistinct lines on the big blue DELO jug.  Then add a little every couple
of minutes to bring the dip stick up to half way.

Satori, #398 1997
