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

TIA

Scout

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
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.
