Any engine that runs in dirt, meaning farm equipment should have the oil changed per manufacturer recommendation. No oil filter is good enough to get all of that dirt out of the oil.
I've told this story before and I'm comparing only one tractor against another similar tractor so the comparison im about to make is not scientific by any means, it's just a comparison. In 1978 I bought a new IH 1086. My brother in law bought a new 1086 the same year. He ran Amsoil with its extended changes. I used mostly IH branded oil and changed every 100 hours. Both of us take meticulous care of our machinery and both tractors were used for primarily heavy field work and they had nearly identical hours.
When 10,000 hours rolled around both of these tractors were overhauled. His cam was worn beyond specs and the crankshaft needed to be ground. My camshaft was 2/3 worn and the crankshaft was still at new specs. He replaced the oil pump for the second time, I replaced the oil pump for the first time. Now my 1086 has 17000 hours, the last 1000 have been easy hours. It doesn't need oil added between changes and the oil pressure is in the 50 psi range at hot idle. I don't know what his 10 has for hours nor what it's condition is.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
