Stus-List Re: Rotella T5 - 10w30 vs 15w40?

I spoke with Yanmar about this issue a couple years ago. The Yanmar tech sent me a screen shot of the service manual. I can't figure out how to do a link here and can't past the screen shot, but this is the info: Service Categories Use an engine oil the meets or exceeds the following

Stus-List Re: Rotella T5 - 10w30 vs 15w40?

I use 10-30, which I think Yanmar recommends. The Rotella works well. I keep the level of oil at about 80% of full and I see very little smoke and don’t have to add oil between changes (once a season). Pete W. Siren Song C Irvington, Va Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 26, 2022, at 3:51 PM,

This is not that kind of filter. It is a wire screen for large particulates to protect the pump. But in answer- I don’t drink or cook with the water from the tanks. Just used for washing and showering. I gave up on trying to maintain tank water many years ago and keep liter bottles of water

Does it matter in any practical sense whether I use 10W-30, which is available, versus 15 W 40, which was available last time I bought a jug… Yanmar 2GM…. Thx. Dave. Sent from my iPhone

My Yanmar 4JH3 calls for 15-40. I think most use this, Rotella. Bill Coleman On Mon, Sep 26, 2022 at 3:51 PM Dave S via CnC-List wrote: > Does it matter in any practical sense whether I use 10W-30, which is > available, versus 15 W 40, which was available last time I bought a jug… > Yanmar

Yes Rotella is good oil. I use in 5W-40 T6 synthetic my diesel truck and it would be good for your Yanmar but it's expensive. For sailboat engines which hardly ever run in freezing temps SAE 30 would be fine. Basically all lubricating oils nowadays will do. In my Universal M4-30 I used 10w-40 or

Cleaned and shocked the tanks every year. Its what we drank numerous times when Bermuda bound. No ill effects from the water. We now live aboard and drink tank water twice filtered. Key is rotation. Use it and fill it. However took four water tests - 1) unfiltered, filtered once, filtered

I’ve been following this thread a little bit, And I can’t help but wonder if the lead doesn’t creep a tiny bit over time. There’s a lot of compression involved. It wouldn’t take much to see a reduction in bolt torque. Dave 33-2 Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 26, 2022, at 2:27 PM, John Irvin

I mostly solved the mystery of my fresh water pump and wanted to update the discussion. I got another identical Jabsco pump from Defender to replace the new one that was not shutting off and I was able to test the new one without removing the previous new one. It did exactly the same thing

Pretty much as Dennis says, the fiberglass probably does compress a little. The fact is, that they do get loose as we all know. However that happens, they need to be kept quite snug. If you can imagine, having loose bolts and you tip your boat over 50° and imagine that lever flopping back and

Are you brave enough to drink water from your fresh water tanks or even cook food with it? Filter or not it's good for washing dishes and showering. Quality potable in those tanks; if I was dying of thirst. Maybe. Take the filter out. Be careful of where you take on water and chlorinate On Mon,
