My manual says oil change every 500 hours. What about changing the oil when the machine is used little. Should it be changed out every 6 months even though the hours are not up yet? Less often? Case Cx135
If you are running ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) which has a sulfur content of less than 15ppm, you can safely run 500hr intervals on the engine oil on Tier 3 engines. Using ULSD in off road machinery is mandatory here in lower NY and NY City. We only burn ULSD and routinely use a 500hr interval on all of our rental fleet machinery (200+ units). The only reason we would go to a lesser interval is if we know that a machine has been abused or run in excessively dusty conditions for an extended period of time.
