Looking to do the 20hr oil/fluid change.

What brand engine oil are you using? I'm planning on using synthetic blend

Vdrive oil?

Transmission fluid?

I have located the order numbers for the fluids from indmar just curious if everyone uses their fluids

'18 mojo 400

Thanks!

The most important detail is to use the correct viscosity and the correct rating. I believe the required rating for my 400 in an ‘18 Max is SN.

My understanding is the zddp levels matter for the cats? What level should I be shooting for?

I would keep it under 900ppm, dexos 1 is cat friendly.

Where do you find the zddp levels that the different oils have? I've looked around but can't find any information from the manufacturers

I call the tech line of the oil manufacturer.

Mobil 1 lists their zddp online but a word of caution.....Mobil 1 moves zddp level very frequently and it’s a moving target.

I use castrol in my vehicles with no issue. Thinking I might use the "ultraclean" blend they have. Ive sent an email to the company looking for the zddp levels. Im assuming they will be in the range they should be to keep the cats happy. Thoughts?
