Oil and Filter Change Intervals
The standard engine oil and filter change period is
500 hours. There are several other factors that can
alter the standard engine oil and filter change of 500
hours.
• If the engine is using engine oil analysis to
determine oil and filter change period.
• The engine is working in a severe service
environment/Load Factor
• Infrequent operation of the engine
Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Severe Service Application” for more information on
reducing the engine oil and filter change period. For
severe service applications the recommended oil and
filter change period is 250 hours.
If the engine is operated in severe service conditions,
Perkins recommends the use of engine oil sampling.
Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
Engine Oil sample - Obtain for more information.
If the engine is operated infrequently less than 500
hours in a 12-month period, then the engine oil and
filter change should be conducted yearly.
