I am not religious about annual oil changes, but dont want to get excessive if I only use something for 10 hours a year I am not waiting 10-20 years to change the oil.
Go by hours....but if you use it frequently (and get it up to operating temp), then Im not afraid to go 2-3 years on oil before I change it.
But the worst part is if you never get it up to temp to burn off the water. Like someone only using their tractor for 5 min at a time, once a week to haul trash to the end of the drive.....thats bad because you are never getting to operating temp. In that scenario Id do it annually.
