I just purchased a 2005 SANTE with the Excalibur 330 motor, PCM trans 1.0:1, with Walters V-Drive RV-26D1D.
Because some of the fluids available in 2005 are no longer available today, I made a shopping list of the fluids and parts I needed to change out all the fluids and filters.
Here is what I bought:
5 quarts of Mobil Delvac 15W-40 and Motorcraft FL-1A filter for the Engine.
2 quarts of Dex/Merc Automatic transmission Fluid (Dexron III is no longer available and I have read in these forums that Dex/Merc is the best replacement for what is available today) for the PCM transmission.
1 quart of SAE30 oil (I could not find a reputable brand in 1 quart bottles, so I had to get a 4 quart jug) for the Walters V-drive.
1 new raw water impeller (RP061022) and 1 new fuel filter (RP080026) - both kits came with the o-rings shown in the photo.
Fuel resistant pipe thread sealer (for the FCC drain plug), Anti seize for the tower bolt knobs, Teflon tape for water drain plugs.
Sta-Bil marine treatment (I cannot get non-ethanol fuel in my area), Marine grease for the rudder, Sta-Bil fogging oil for the cylinders.
I have compiled this information from reading many hours on this forum. This will be the first time I change the fluids (and after a couple more times out, winterize the boat). Please let me know if any of the fluids I purchased will harm my engine. I will change the fluids next weekend.
I plan on warming up the engine by running it for 5-10 minutes sucking cooling water from a bucket (replenishing the bucket with a garden hose) while it is on the trailer. Should I do anything else to make sure the Transmission and V-drive are sufficiently warmed up before I change those fluids?
I really liked Bimmerboyz step by step photo instructions on how to winterize. I may try to do that when I change the fuel filter (depending on how messy my hands get). This forum is great.
