    Hi all

    I am buying parts for my boat in order to service it. The engine is an iveco aifo 8061 srm 33

    I can't seem to find the correct oil when I Google this engine. Would you be able to point me in the right direction
    Thanks

    I'd say you couldn't really go wrong with 5W-30 in a marine diesel.

    Do you not have the engine manual?

    Thanks Andy. This is what the manual says
    Use lubricants corresponding to the following international speci- fications: ACEA E3/API CF4/MIL L 2104E/F for turbocharged engi- nes;

    I was looking at buying this oil https://www.adverts.ie/15534429 but based on your reccomadation I would be better to get https://www.adverts.ie/5593331

    The engines are Iveco aifo 8061 srm33

    Hi pm. As with reply over here on this thread (didn’t realise you had posted here also) https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057952255

    15W-40 will be fine. Most oils of this grade are now on API-CJ4 spec. CF4 was introduced in 1990. So 15w40 with any of the grades CF, CG, CH, CI or CJ4 will be fine to use.
    It’s also often cheaper than fully synth oil. Agri dealers usually around €60 mark for 20 litres.

    Regards.

    Fair play to you. Again really appreciate your response. Was worried about putting the wrong oil in
