while were on this subject..is the oil change at 40 hrs??
cuz if it is thats a load of it....

It depends on the engine manufacturer. Pickup engines often have larger volumes of oil and therefore need less frequent changes. Double the volume and double the change interval.
My JD skid steer is 250 hours for the oil change (standard oil, 375 hours for premium oil) and 500 hours for premium oil with the extended oil pan.
