Indmar Recommends; (I use Rotella.)
Oil Type: Pennzoil Marine (SAE 15W-40), service SJ/CG4
Oil Capacity: 5.5 quarts with filter
Oil Filter: Pennzoil PZ3.

The V drive oil is Pennzoil Motor Oil, HD-30

Tranny; Uses oil type: GM Dexron III, Ford Mercon, Daimler-Benz 236.6 or any SAE 10 hydraulic oil that meets Allison Type C3, Caterpillar TO-2 or equivalent specifications. ( I use an Amsoil product)

I change all three (3) fluids EVERY 50 hours!!!

I have 3300+ hours on my 2006 Launch 21V. With no problems so far.

@Foiltech

WOW!! Nobody can argue that the fluid changes are excessive with those numbers! Nice!

I also use Rotella and have found it to be a great oil.
