FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE INTERVALS
Fluid and filter change frequencies are determined as follows.
• Table 3 is a general guide. The fluid must be changed whenever there is
evidence of dirt or high temperature indicated by discoloration or strong odor.
More frequent changes may be required when operations are subject to high
levels of contamination or overheating.
• Fluid change intervals can be optimized by monitoring fluid oxidation
according to the tests and limits in the Fluid Contamination section of this
manual.
