So, my trusty old 855 owner's manual puts the oil change interval at 200 hours. I put less than 100 hours per year on this machine, maybe even less than 67 hours per year. But, something about waiting 2 - 3 years to do an oil change just doesn't seem right to me. I'm thinking best practice might be to just change the oil yearly.
That said, if that system is designed to have the oil filter changed every 200 hours, I see no point in changing the filter after a 60 hour year. Might as well wait the 2 - 3 years it takes me to accumulate 200 hours, for the filter change. That's more about the inconvenience of getting to a dealer to buy the filter, than cost.
What's the wisdom of the group?
