If I use it 50 or so hours, oil and filter gets changed every year. If around 25 hours I currently change every two years, but previously would change oil every year and filters every two years. Began to think that was overkill. Other tractors that run only an hour or so get changed at 5 or so years. Use 15W40 diesel oil in everything. Put new coolant, fluids and filters in every machine when purchased. Less than 500 hours on any machine since and haven't changed transmission or hydraulic oil but thinking about it on the larger tractors used more often. Test coolant and add the necessary conditioner every couple of years. Several tractors/combine have a coolant conditioner filter and I don't add conditioner intend to change filter at 200 or so hours.
