06 Moomba Mobius LSV - Transmission fluid

[spyder]

Hey guys, I have the details on fluids for the V-Drive and the Engine Oil... What does the transmission use?

Walter V-Drive (RV-26D-71V)
Pennzoil SAE 30 Motor Oil

Engine (Indmar Assault 325 5.7L EFI)
Engine Oil: Pennzoil Marine 15W40
Oil Filter: Pennzoil PZ3

Wakeplate
Regular ATF

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the V-drive is the transmission.

[spyder]

well that's what I assumed.. But I found 3 dipsticks... 1 for the Engine, 1 for the V-Drive, and a red one that I was not sure what it was for... in the owners manual it says transmission.....

Spyder,

Page 62 in the Moomba manual says to use only Dextron III for transmissions with 1:1 drivetrain (which is what my boat has).

Page 6-17 of the Indmar manual says to use Pennzoil Dexron II, III, or MERCON.

CSMSK,
The V-Drive is separate..
ATF Dexron III in my trans as well.

Trans fluid is easy to change cold with a vac pump.
V Drive oil needs to be warm or you'll never get it out.

I need to change my V Drive oil sometime soon...

I will need a little help on that to make sure I do it right. I know Jesse has posted several times about this.. i guess there is a drain on the bottom and something about some magnets? I guess I'll have to get into it to understand..

With the Dexron III ATF work fine for the Wakeplate as well... or is it a different ATF?

The only SAE30 around these parts is Castrol SAE30 HD (Heavy Duty)... Will this work for the V-Drive or is Heavy Duty wrong for this use?

I just hear HD has more detergent then standard SAE30...

Any issues with that?
