[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 4845054, member: 718"] The 236 and 248 have fairly large sumps, holding 2 gallons if I remember correctly. The 165 with the 212 engine had half a gallon less in the sump, unless my memory is playing tricks. The 100 series all had 300 hour oil change intervals I think, the same as the horrendously filthy Ford 5000. Later tractors did indeed have 250 hour intervals, but a significant minority of farmers miss services by a significant margin quite regularly in my experience. Generally there is no problem because that margin is taken into consideration by the tractor manufacturer. An example of this is that Perkins and Sisu engines in MF tractors until recently have had 400 hour service intervals, yet the same engines fitted to other brands like McCormick and Valtra have had 500 hour service intervals.
