Changing Engine Oil

[allstar45]

I have a 2024 TYM T394 Standard Shift with shuttle shift what make engine oil should I use and weight. It could get below zero degrees F in the winter. Has anyone ever used the filter kits on Amazon and are they doing a good job? Did you have any problems with it? It has a Yanmar engine, model #3TNV88C-DKTF

Look in your owners manual for the oil specs. I wouldn’t use any cheap, no name filters from china.

The smaller 3TNM74F in my 2024 T224 actually recommends 5w30 or 10w30 engine oil for the widest range of temperatures per the oil range chart in the manual, but even 15w40 is good down to ~ -7degF, which it rarely gets to in my area anyway.

Most owners seem to use 15w40, Delvac or Rotella. I am going to do the first engine oil change on mine at around 10hrs. I plan on using a diesel rated 10w30 and a Champ PH2876XL filter as I have these filters on hand for 2 Nissans I take care of. They are the same size and thread base to the OEM.
