When to Change Oil
Refer to DDC-SVC-BRO-0001 for more information.
The length of time an engine may operate before an oil change depends upon the lubricant and fuel used, engine oil consumption, and the operating cycle.
Caution: USED ENGINE OIL
To avoid injury to skin from contact with the contaminants in used engine oil, wear protective gloves and apron.
Oil analysis may be used to determine whether this interval should be shortened, but it should not be used to lengthen the interval.
The use of fuels with sulfur content above 0.05 mass percent will require a shortening of drain intervals. For more information refer to DDC-SVC-BRO-0001.
Disposal of Waste Oil
Used lubricating oil and filters require disposal in an environmentally responsible manner, according to federal and/or state recommendations. The disposal of waste oil may be best addressed by the engine oil supplier, who may accept responsibility for proper disposal of this material as part of the business of providing lubricant.
