A54 Engine Transmission (ZF25)
Mohammad Shirloo
Hi Arno;
We had a Z25 manual on board, when we purchased Kokomo. The oil and filter change of the Z25 is a fairly simple process. Make sure you use the proper Automatic Transmission Oil. Going off memory, I believe it is a dexron III or higher.
Happy Sailing;

Hi Mohammad,
You must be one of the few doing this with so much dedication! Which user manual are you referring to? It's the first time I've heard this as normally moist cannot enter the gearbox. But I think it is about time I start refreshing the reverse-gear-oil... Thanks, Arno Luijten, SV Luna, A54-121

Hello Arno;
We replace the transmission oil and filter every year prior to the start of the season. I believe this is stated in the manual. Also, we fill the oil to the top (About an extra 2 liters) for winter storage. This is recommended in the manual to cover all gears to prevent rust and corrosion.

I just uploaded the workshop manual for the engine transmission into the "/Files / Volvo Penta" section. I don't think there is a lot we can do about this thing ourselves as it needs lots of specialty tools to work on it.

One thing I did wonder about. Does anyone have recommendations about refreshing the oil in the transmission? I don't remember seeing any mention of this in the manuals. Regards, Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121
