My Kanzaki gearbox has a drain. 3GM30F. I know because it cost me a lot of money to have the tranny pulled just so they could helicoil the drain plug that some prior idiot had stripped and "fixed" with goop. That was a very fortunate morning that I decided to check under the engine before a long

Re: Stus-List Kanzaki transmission oil change

The manufacturer says single weight, either 20# or 30#. So, if you are in the Arctic circle, or somewhere so cold that heavier oil affects shifting or slippage, use straight 20#. Elsewhere, use straight 30#.

Re: Stus-List Kanzaki transmission oil change

Multi-viscosity oils may not behave properly in a transmission or other mechanical device that calls for a single weight oil. Gearboxes are not engines. In most cases, in devices calling for a single weight oil, there will be other stipulations such as non-detergent, as well. I sure would not

Check the correct oil. It can be ATF or motor oil. Usually, there is a (reddish) label on top or the side of the transmission. Also, check how much you sucked out. It is very easy to overfill. Mine (Hurth 50) takes .7 l of ATF. Marek 1994 C270 “Legato” (Perkins M20/Hurth 50) Ottawa, ON From:
