Frequency Of Oil Changes

  All oil deteriorates and loses its properties over time. If a machine is used intensively at high load, this deterioration accelerates because of the high pressures and temperatures to which it is subjected.

Less well protected, your engine and machine hydraulic system will lose efficiency and wear out faster.

Remember to check your machine User Manual to see how often it needs an oil change and filter replacement

What is engine oil for ?

 Oil is essential for efficient engine operation and long life. It plays several essential roles to keep your engine in optimum operational condiion :

1. Lubricates surfaces: Reduces friction between contact parts and ensures maximum efficiency;

2. Protects against corrosion: Combats humidity, acid products and any other kind of aggressive elements;

3. Engine cooling: Maintains heat balance in the engine by evacuating calories;

4. Seals the pistons: Optimises  compression and resultant engine power;

5. Evacuates impurities: Cleans the inside of the engine and removes impurities via the oil change.
