- MAN CRM V8-900s, Twin Disc Drives; Onan 21.5 Generator
Somewhere I found a MAN bulletin that changed the 400 hrs to 200...that's also what Wendel at GCD recommended.MAN V8-900 CRM (D 2848 LE 423) OIL CHANGES
On a related note: I just spoke with our new-to-be MAN guy up here on the Chesapeake… and he verbally recommended oil changes for “typical pleasure boaters” every 250 hours… NOT the 400 hours (or 1 year, whichever comes first?) specified in the MAN manual. He said he had some offshore charter customers that change every 150 hours, but that’s harder usage than what we’d routinely see.
