Message: <blockquote data-quote="140mower" data-source="post: 3910" data-attributes="member: 447">Hi Tazza, I've been thinking about what to use as a regular interval for oil changes myself since buying my 763 back in May. I changed it shortly after I got it (unfortunately it was at an odd number 2867hrs) and now I'm just about 180hrs since. I think I'll change it again soon and try and stay at 180hrs or there abouts until I get back onto a more even number, then I'll go for 200hrs between changes. I'm running 15/40 wt. Castrol, same as in my pick-up ('93 Dodge with Cummins) which I buy in 20 liter pails for about $35.00 cdn, sure brings the cost of oil down versus buying in individual 1 liter containers. I also buy 10/30 by the pail for the hydraulics and wifes F150 p/u., it's a little less convenient when you only need a top up between changes, but if you fill a 4 liter jug at the same time you're doing the oil change that helps some. 10 hours after a rebuild sounds about right to me, I think I'd be tempted to give it one more at around the 50hr mark, just be sure all the filings are out, even if it's only piece of mind. You'd be suprised how much contamination is in there after a rebuild. If you cover up the waste oil for a couple days to let it settle and gently pour off the top, the bottom looks like a nice metalic paint.<img src="https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-1.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> An extra $50.00 to go with a $1000.00 rebuild seems like good insurance to me. Don</blockquote>
