on the fly oil change...

[Mikey P]

not use to the increased maintenance schedule of a slide in.


noticed the hours the Rookie has been logging on and decided to do a change in the customers drive way today..

Cool, But that drain hose looks like it is going uphill.

I'm sure it is just a photography trick.. !gotcha!

 

[Mikey P]

it sure does but I had the van so tilted that it all came out in no time..

 

[bob vawter]

looks BLACK....
how many hours?

 

[Lyman]

Oil and filter once a week, get in the habbit.

 

[Mikey P]

Once a week?

You put on 100 hours a week or just have nothing better to do?

I think I changed the oil and filter once on a Kohler command 20hp TM my dad built in 97, Sold it in 2006 and the guy is still making money with it today, Same motor, blower, pump, Heat Ex.

 

[Lyman]

That right, once a month.

 

[bob vawter]

if you're opening yor fly to change your oil...
you're draining the WRONG tank......

 

[XTREME1]

where is all the crap in the opening of the doors such as hair, lint and dirt from the filters when you bang them out there

 

[bob vawter]

Mikey you DO fill up the filter before you put in back on....right?
the five seconds that it takes to fill an empty filter is hard on yor motor while running!

Cute bungi strap.

What if the bungi let loose in that customer's driveway?

Not a good idea.

Once a week??? Unless you do at least a 100 hours/week, I really don't see the need to change it once a week.

I do about 100-150hours.

 

[joeynbgky]

Oil should be changed every 25-50 hours............... I do it every 50.. if your waiting longer you suck, and your machine will eventually stop sucking

 

[Zee]

Here is the difference: run the engine 3000 hours.

Do an oil change every 25 hours- that's a 120 oil changes. $5.00 oil filter plus $10.00 oil. Thast $1800.00!!!!! ($2400.00 if you look at 4000hours)

Or run the engine 3000 hours.
Do an oil change every 100 hours- that's 30 oil changes. That's only $450.00!!

From my own experience- I believe if you change the oil every 100 hours, your engine will easily run 3-4000 hours. And you save almost as much money as a new engine.

 

[rick imby]

Not counting the time you spend changing the oil.

Really some cleaners do it every 25 hours? Wow.

I thought my machine was like a push mower.

Did not know it had a filter.

Hmmm
