</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I change the oil and filter every spring, no matter how many hours I have put on during the winter(always less than 20.) Then I change every 50 hours during the summer mowing season (usually once, this past year twice.) I also change when I store the MMM for the winter. Probably overkill but it makes me feel better.

I've changed mine too during summer months every 50 hours.
Since I mow 85% of the time with my B7500 I consider that harsh conditions since all the dust, seed in the air. With that in mind I also keep a close eye on my air filter. I figure what's 30 minutes and $10 for a little piece of mind. I have noticed that the oil gets really black in 50 hours, so to me that's time to change.
FYI, I use Kubota filters and New Holland SAE 30w oil as recommended by the dealer here. If it's good enoungh for them it's good enough for me.
