It doesn't matter what colour they are, they all break down sooner or later. Maintenance helps make it the latter. Using really good lubricants and checking and changing them regularly makes a big difference. I've seen a lot of guys that never fix leaks, buy the cheapest oil they can find and just keep filling it in the morning. Who knows how much damage was done the last couple hours the day before cause the fluid was low. Then they always complain about how expensive it is to fix.

They figure he has more money. He has more money but only because he did a little regular maintenance. Some people do seriously abuse their equipment. It will catch up to them. Dave
