Oil & Fuel Oil change or not to oil change ?????

That is an excellent point. There is nothing that stops them from putting in a 'so many hrs or so many months/years - whichever comes first' clause - since it seems like they do use the calender for some things.

The only place I can find any mention of going outside the Maintenance Schedule is when storing for extended times; course it says to keep it in a warm dry place too.:laughing:

So I don't have to keep changing mine every week whether I use it or not since it is so cheap to protect such an expensive purchase??? What will Grandpa and Great Grandpa think? Now I can stop buying oil in 55 gallon barrells and filters by the gross!:thumbsup:
Does this also apply to the HST fluid and filters being changed weekly just to be sure???

Now John, don't be jumping to conclusions, you being pretty new to all this tractor stuff and all...:laughing::laughing::laughing:

canoetrpr, I knew I had seen an hour or time in one of my Operator Manuals. Maybe not relevant, but some manufacturers do use an either/or approach. This is from my Rhino Manual. It includes oil and filters.
