Sorry to stick this here,...had some basic questions about a westerbeke gen:

1) how many quarts of oil does it take?
2) what is the recommended oil weight?
3) how many gallons of anti-freeze does it take?

Thanks!
 
If it has a flat tappet camshaft then use 15W-40 truck oil, like Chevron DELO which still has adequate zinc phosphorus and moly.
they are lowering zinc too low for engines with old style flat lifters due to issues with Catalytic converter efficiency falling off due to zinc poisoning. This is something people are generally unaware of and you can goto Bob is the oil guy and read more on it.
