    400 is wrong oil for two strokers. The Rotella is T1 for their low ash product. $68/5 gal. net Delo 100, but that’s a friend deal. DD branded at WW Williams for $88. Got to ask them for the price.

    My 1271ti's are supposed to take 9 gallons. But let me beat Scott to the punch and say they take the same amount you took out.

    Trans fluid too? If by chance you have Twin Discs they call for T02 rating, that has been superseded to T04. Chevron offers a T04 fluid in various weights. http://www.chevronlubricants.com/en_...l#.Wd07bXplCf1

    Low ash (<1.0%) is preferred for the two stroke engines. Detroit has a PDF on this but I could not find it. Remember, two strokes need straight 40 oil.

    This information is a bit old, but may be good. Shell Rotella 40 is at the upper limit of the ash spec. I've used it, but switched to NAPA 75118 (Valvoline) as it is well below the spec and I can easily get it anywhere.
    ASH, %

    Exxon XD3____________.80%
    Mobil Delvac 1240______.80% (if you can still find it)
    Castrol Assuron________.80%
    Valvoline Fleet Plus_____.80%
    Delo 100______________.85%
    Texaco Ursa___________.85%
    Shell Rotella__________1.00%
    Valvoline Fleet Guard Plus SAE 40 also meets the 0.8% spec
    Napa is $75 for 5 gal and you get a discount if you order it delivered to a store.

    Same oil as motors (40wt). Doesn’t have to be low ash content. If your ZF’s are BW250’s they call for 37 liters.

    Had the mechanical surveyor on the 55 I am buying tell me to run between the high and low marks on a 12-71. He said thats where they will usually wind up anyway as they will use oil until the halfway mark then quit. He said this was typical for Detroits. Guess I will try it and see.
