Yanmar engine oil
 

I thought I had written the # in my manual, but I don't see
it ( the # ). I have a spare filter but it's on the boat.

Scotty or Jeff,
Do you have an oil filter part number? Fram or whatever.

I just ran 3 gallons of anti-freeze through the sea-water
side and collected
it in a bucket, poured it back into the 3 jugs and put it
away for next
year's winterizing.

Anyone using synthetic motor oil? API of CD, CE, higher?
Can
you use a C*-4?
Anyone else have a 2GM20F engine?

Do you have a manual? Did you know there are drains for the
seawater?

When I bought the boat there was a site that claimed that
most of the
third party filters were worthless. When this was
verified by my most
frugal boating buddy, I bought a bushel of authentic
Yanmar filters
and I'm still going through them.

If you want a Fram, I'm sure West has the chart.

So now you have some antifreeze that's been diluted an
arbitrary
amount. I usually suck up about a gallon, then open the
valve on the
Vetus waterlock muffler. I usually remove the water pump
and
sometimes the exhaust elbow.


Oh, yeah, I always take the rubber impeller out of the pump
for Winter layover.

$6.12 doesn't seem like too much,but you can probably save a buck or
two by going with a Sierra or Fram.

I never trusted the salt water drain on the heat exchanger to fully
drain the system. I prefer to flush completely with antifreeze. I
suppose after that I could open the drain, just to be safe.

It's just a whole lot more convenient to go to the local
NAPA or Wal Mart.

Fram # PH3593a according to the cross reference chart.

I mostly used the drains when the weather turned cold and
the boat was still in the water. No need to waste all that
AF.

Thanks Jeff,
I prefer specified parts, but I just haven't seen a part number nor do I
know where to buy the Yanmar filters. I didn't get the full documentation
with the boat either, so tracking down procedures, diagrams, and part
numbers has been iffy. I wrote down the numbers for the anti-freeze and the
oil, went shopping at all the local auto stores, including Pep Boys, and
found none of the recommended fluids and had no clue what oil filter to buy.
It's the next level of effort to get to a marine store, which I'll do, but
for now I just wanted to get fresh oil(s) and anti-freeze onboard so I can
get the rest of my mountain of work done without worrying about the coming
freeze.

Thanks for the link. I don't know why, but when I Googled Yanmar and 2GM20F
I got nothing.

Scotty, I plan to order some oil filters from Yanmar. Do you want to split
an order?

I have a Yanmar 2GM and I just buy a top quality 30W regular oil which
is what Yanmar recomends. I also use a Yanmar filter but have also
used FRAM.

Is 30W for the engine?
Here's what the paperwork I have says:

Selection of Engine Lube Oil: API: CD, SAE Viscosity: 15W40
Selection of Oil for Marine Gear: SAE Viscosity: 30
Sail Drive: Viscosity: 90 or 80W90

That is true, but I did test the mixture with a hydrometer. Seems a shame to
dump it.
