What are the
guidelines
for oil
changes?
—
Use an hourly schedule to
maintain oil changes. Overdue or
expired changes will cause
component damage due to lack of
lubrication.
—
Change oil regularly (see
Section 7.1).
•
Using improper or inferior quality
oil (e.g., recycled oil) does not
achieve proper lubricant function
and component protection.
•
If used oil is not drained
completely, the impurities left by
the used oil will be dissolved in
new oil. This will accelerate the
oil deterioration.
•
Avoid using PAG or ester oils.
—
1.1 Please use oil listed as:
ISO 68 or ISO VG 68
—
Avoid using dirty or used oil.
—
Whenever changing oil,
please ensure the used oil is
drained as much as possible
to preserve the quality of
new oil.
•
In harsh work environments (e.g.,
excess heat, air pollutants, direct
exposure to sunlight or rain, dust,
high humidity, bad air quality),
the time between oil changes will
decrease
—
The oil change interval is
based on regular operation.
The operator should consider
the operating conditions in
determining intervals and
should shorten the interval
depending on the observed
condition of the oil (smell,
color, viscosity, composition).
•
If the machine is left unused for a
long time or only used rarely the
oil will deteriorate.
—
If the machine needs to be
run after a long period of
non-use, check the condition
of the oil first.
