Changing your machine’s oil isn’t just a maintenance task — it’s a performance booster and a money saver. Discover why routine oil changes are essential, what signs to look for, and how Preach It Parts & Equipment can help you get it right every time.
🔧 Why Oil Changes Matter
Machinery — whether used in construction, mining, agriculture, or transportation — depends on clean, high-quality oil to operate efficiently. Over time, oil breaks down, collects dirt and debris, and loses its lubricating properties. If left unchanged, this leads to:
- Increased friction and wear
- Overheating of components
- Reduced engine performance
- Risk of costly breakdowns
Routine oil changes protect moving parts, reduce heat, and help maintain fuel efficiency and performance.
⚠️ Signs Your Machine Needs an Oil Change
- Dark or dirty oil on the dipstick
- Loud or unusual engine noise
- Excessive exhaust smoke
- Overheating warnings
- Sluggish performance or reduced power
If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule an oil change before bigger problems follow.
🧰 How Often Should You Change Machine Oil?
Oil change frequency depends on the type of equipment, working environment, and oil quality. As a rule of thumb:
- Heavy-duty machinery (like excavators, dozers, loaders): Every 250–500 hours
- Generators or smaller engines: Every 100–200 hours
- Always follow OEM recommendations for your specific machine.
Extreme conditions (dust, heat, heavy loads) may require more frequent service.
