I have a question about frequency of oil change for the trans/diff on my H and M. I am using GL-5 85W-90 oil in both. The owners manual that came with the tractor says to change it yearly, however a IH mechanic told me that with modern EP oils, that isn't necessary. He says the original recommendation was from the days when straight mineral oils were used, and that modern GL-5 gear oil is much more durable.

I use both tractors to farm about 160 acres of crops. The M does some chore work also in the winter.

If it is ok to leave modern oils in longer, what should the change interval be? I dont' want to change it more often that it needs to be--we are talking about 20 gal of oil total for both tractors. It gets rather expensive, and then there is a lot of waste oil to dispose of.

how often do you change the gear oil in your truck manual transmission and rear axle? CNKS is right, if it has water in it, drain it off, or change oil. If no water it will be good for several years. Does it set inside the barn or out in the rain?

Problem is the oil gets water in it, either from condensation, thru the gearshift lever, or from around the bolts, I don't know -- but I can guarantee you that when you drain it you will find water, unless you are already in the habit of changing it regularly. Back on the farm in the 50's I don't remember ever changing it, but being a teenager I do remember breaking the differential and transmission one time apiece (we pulled stuff with an H but needed an M), so it did get changed.
