T&T: Spring Lube & Filter Change Questions

    I'm about to do my first oil and filter change on the boat: Cummins 220 main
    with Twin Disc transmission, and a Northen Lights / Lugger 6 kva generator.
    An OilEx exchange system is hooked into the Cummins and the transmission,
    but not the Lugger.

    I had thought to hire a local mechanic to do the first round while I watched
    and learned, but when two cost estimates were provided at Cdn$600 and $1200
    respectively, I put that idea right to bed. I purchased the engine oil and
    filters (oil, and both primary and secondary fuel) today, but hope someone
    can answer a couple of questions:

    1) if I change the primary fuel filters on the 2 engines, will I have to
    re-prime as was the case with my old Lehman?

    2) Twin Disc told me the transmission uses either straight 30 or 40 weight
    engine depending on operating temperature, but wasn't able to say which for
    my combo. Does any of you know?

    Cheers, Garrett
