Engine/Transmission Oil CS30

[2 OLD PIRATES]

Hi all ..... this time of the season AGAIN.:cussing:I seem to have a dilema. I looked high and low and seem to be getting mixed information on what types of oil I should use in my 1986 CS30 engine and transmission. The engine is a Volvo Penta 2000.

So far it seems SAE 30 is the one mentioned (for both engine and transmission) but the Volvo website doesn't mention this one at all.

Would appreciate any feed back from CS30 owners who have had a number of year under their belt dealing with this.

Cheers
Irish Rogue
