[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6728583, member: 718"] Services vary in nature and should naturally vary with the type of work a vehicle does. I don't know of many cars or trucks that require an air, fuel or cabin filter change with every service. Most vehicles have three service levels... intermediate oil change, main service, and a super service where extras like transmission and axle oils plus brake fluid may be specified. There may be other services needed such as timing belts, spark plugs and things on a longer schedule and things like wiper blades, brake pads and lights that need servicing on an as-needed basis. Personally I tailor services to my judgment. For instance I always give pickups an axle oil change at the first10,000 miles, because mine tow a lot of heavy trailers. I also send it for an oil service every year at MOT, which is approximately between 9000 and 12,000 miles, even though Ford reckon every two years or 18,000 miles is sufficient for normal highway driving. Fuel and air filter every other year. Fuel filters on tractors are inspected for water regularly but I do tend to extend filter changes as long as I think appropriate, because fuel filters do not have a bypass and therefore the only issue with blocked ones is restricted fuel flow. Tractor air filters are blown out periodically but only changed every five years or so. The only air filters I've changed on farm equipment in the past year have been the two skid steer loaders that had major services [including the hydraulic oil and filters] before this Winter. The filter housing ejector valve was changed on one, because it was damaged and not functioning properly. Services are more than going by the book. Common sense, observation, workmanship and record keeping to avoid missing services comes into it as much as anything, especially if one is responsible for a fleet of any size. [/QUOTE]
