Lister TS2 genset oil specification

[Barge Maria]

I would value the forum readers' opinion please. My dutch barge's genset uses a Lister ts2, running, of course, at a constant speed. What oil would you knowledgable folks suggest I use? I have used the same multigrade 10/40 that the main engine (Scania) uses and there seem to be no side effects but I am wondering if a monograde might be better.

 

Cheers n beers

According to the Lister documentation your engine should be running on an 10w40 15w40 or 20w40 oil depending on ambient air temps. The oil should be to API CC grade or above (CD CE etc) If the oil you use in your Scania meets this then your using the right stuff.

Thanks Martyn. Can't find the owners manual although I know I have one!!

 

Scania oil fits the bill, spec is the same
