Do you not have an instruction book with the engine?

Failing that ....

15/40 is the modal oil for that type of engine and yes, car type filters are OK

 

Somebody more helpful may be along shortly with specific deiatls....

A 10 second Google found:

http://www.canaline-engines.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Canaline-Operators-Handbook-CE-Version-3870T.pdf

 

From that manual:

 

Oil Capacity 8 litres

 

Engine Oil Selection

Engines Plus Ltd recommends oil to the following specifications…

 

API CC or CD specification is used in Canaline 38, 42, 52 & 60 Marine engines.

API CH is used in Canaline 70T Marine engines.

Either 10W/40 or 10W/30 is acceptable for temperate climates.

 

Do NOT use Synthetic or Semi-Synthetic Oils in Canaline Marine engines.

 

The correct grade oil is available from your local marine dealer.

• 5 litres API CC 10W/40 – EPL Part No - EP710008 - CL38~60

• 25 litres API CC 10W/40 – EPL Part No - EP710009 – CL38~60

• 5 litres API CH-4 15W/40 – EPL Part No - EP710560 – CL70T ONLY

• 25 litres API CH-4 15W/40 – EPL Part No - EP710561 – CL70T ONLY

Not quite sure why a wide beam service is any different to any other - might I suggest you substitute "boat" for "wide beam" and you might get more help - just trying to post a helpful thought...…………...as you are new...……...you don't need to get caught up in the wide beam debate esp as you are in the right place anyway? 

 

Oh and welcome to the forum - its a good way to reduce boredom - you might find the free waterways world mag link posted elsewhere useful - I'm not clever enough to post it here for you...…...

I rushed to make a further comment and THEN I noticed the last line above which was already in bold. 

I'm not aware that you can -generally -buy 10/40 or 10/30 which is not semi symthetic. The reason is that in light duty applications the synth additive will polish the cylinder bores with the result that your engine will smoke (more than usual) - which is Not A Good Thing.

Halfords, supemarkets / WHY sell oils for cars and not for boats....

 

Trust me, I worked in the oil industry.....

Trust me, I'm a man, and I read the spec, ....

Corrected that for you.

Welcome @Mr Clive, you will see you got your answer and a bit more. Normally followed by a bit of banter.

You can try the search query too, usually something relevant if not specific.

Oh no... you won’t get it there :)

Is this a ten minute argument??

 

You've managed to turn my comment around to the whole point.

From remembering responses on this forum for 'basic' items new folks tendd to want an easy local source of supply (that's usually the response to ....., later the OP comes back and writes "I can't get ..... at Halfords / B&Q/ whatever"

Hence my point 'it's not GENERALLY available as a caution.

I'm trying to be helpful, not smart.

 

Is that reasonable??

I wasn’t arguing good sir, I was agreeing with you. :)

The correct grade oil is available from your local marine dealer. • 5 litres API CC 10W/40 – EP part no - EP710008 • 25 litres API CC 10W/40 – EP part no - EP710009
