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.
