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

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.

I have a 2GM20F, use Delo 100, 15-40 wt.. Because I have a
55 gal drum at home.

I do. It comes in blue gallon jugs. It's for diesel 18-wheelers. It's
the best stuff for any diesel motor. I found a half a gallon on the road
one time. I put some on my rusty bike chain. It turned all black but got
rid of the rust and it lasted forever.

Cheers,
Ellen

Not sure of the actual viscosityof Delo 100. Long time ago when I was
researching diesel lubricants it was RPM Delo. good stuff thpough, even
then. sure to be better now.

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.

When I bought the boat there was a site that claimed that most of the

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

So now you have some antifreeze that's been diluted an arbitrary

Vetus waterlock muffler. I usually remove the water pump and

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.

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'll stick with the Fram and Delo oil.
Where are you ordering from? The shop at my marina matches
WM / BoatUS prices and he had the Yanmar fuel filters in
stock ( $6 a piece ) . He may have oil filters, or at least
can get them the next day. You want me to call him and get a
price? I'll be down there most of this week.

BTW, you should get a spare fuel filter, or two. I did.

What's the word , I can't think right now?

It 'sets' or 'takes form' if left sitting. Because the

year. And carry a spare in the boat. Mack Boring has Yanmar
parts. They make a ''spares kit'', there was one in my boat

from Yanmar manual;

use oil with a rating higher than SAE class CC

oils they recommend;

below 10*C --------20-30*C
Shell Rotella 10 - 20 -------30
Mobil Delvac 20 -40-------30
RPM Delo Marine Oil 10 -20 -----30

That's a fair price, Jeff. The funny thing with Fram is,
they have that filter in different 'grades'. Standard,
gold, extra gold so on. Their prices are $3 - $12 ( NAPA ).

For what it's worth I just picked up a new oil filter for my 2GM. I
went to do the oil and filter change today and when I opened the new
filter it was about 2/3 the size of the old one. I called the dealer
to give him grief for selling me the wrong part and he told me Yanmar
changed the design. Glad I called it saved me a 50mi round trip.

I gotta believe that a smaller filter means lesser capacity for

Boring has Yanmar
parts. They make a ''spares kit'', there was one in my
boat
when I got it.
You should always carry at least two spare impellers. I
put one in
two years ago and it failed within ten hours - the vanes
spun freely
on the hub.

I have a new one and a good old one as spares.


Frankly I don't see why people buy the parts year by
year; why not buy 4 or 5 years worth and always know you
have a stash?

What if you sell the boat?
I buy oil filters by the case for my trucks, had 6 left over
when I switched from a Detroit to a Cat.
I still have filters for my '71 Dodge van. Anybody need
one?

I gotta believe that a smaller filter means lesser capacity for
contaminants. I wonder what the rationale is?

I don't know but the dealer told me the same filter is now used on
umteen engines.

are you sure he didn't say we now need umteen filters for the same engine?

Size doesn't matter. Just because it's smaller doesn't mean
it won't do the job.

At least that's what I've been told all these years.
