Oil & Fuel Trans oil qty, YM1700

[clemsonfor]

Well after draining it out, it didn't look anywhere near as clean as it did on the dipstick. So I stumped up nearly 1000 swedish kronor (about $140) for 2O litres of fresh. I tried everywhere for cheaper, but competition is a dirty word here. Ha, someone has to pay all the social costs.

The filter was pretty clean, and in light of the small amount of water that came out before the oil, I'm not entirely sure why I was having the pump squeel and lift problems on the really cold days.

One last question though, is the dipstick measurement taken with the stick screwed in, or just placed in the hole? On my Honda bike it's with the stick just resting in the hole, so it's got me thinking.

OUCH!!!!! Competition should make things cheaper? At least it does here in the US. Thats crazy money now i know why you wanted to save it! Whats an oil filter cost for the engine, $24?

What is the average income in US dollars there? With those prices you would have to earn something like $90K a year to have anything!

I feel like a moron as I have done tons of work on my Yanmar F17D. I cannot find the drain plug for the hydralic fluid. I have the manual which has a pic of the underside of the 17d. It also doesn't show the location of the plug. I have changed the filter (left side under the floorboard).

Any help would be appreciated.
