Oil Change Interval

RalphVa · May 16, 2006

My manual says 200 hours after the first 50. I change the engine oil (Mobil 1) at 100 hours, which is about once/year for me. The 200 hours on the hydraulic and gear oil is nothing, as I've typically gone over 100k on my car/pickup transmission oil (manual trans) changes; only change them when the seals start to sling a bit of oil. Oil change stops the slinging because new oil swells the seals again. Will follow the manual on this.

Do you use Mobil 1 in a diesel?

Mobil 1 is diesel rated. I use it in my JD and my Benz diesels. Go 100 hours on the JD and about 6,000 miles (once/year) on the Benz.

( My manual says to change the oil every 200 hours after the initial 50 hour service )

My Nh manual says every hundred on the crankcase.. If I don't get 100.. it gets a service before I put it up for the winter. Now.. my tranny fluid says 200 hours.. etc.
