My old ford 640 got an oil change every 100 hours and was black when I changed it. I didn't use it a lot so it I sometimes went 2-3 years on an oil change.
I now also have a tier 4 Kubota (MX5200HST) with a diesel particulate filter. The engine is a 2.4L with turbo. The initial factory fill was changed at the recommended 50 hours. With 180 hours on it now (15 months use) I am trying to determine an oil change interval. The manual calls for 400 hour oil changes. Is this too many hours? The previous model MX5100 calls for 200 hour oil changes but did not have the particulate filter.
I was leaning towards an amended severe service oil change schedule similar to autos. In the auto world the severe service is approximately 2/3's of the recommended oil change interval. This would put my tractor oil change at every 250 hours.
