Oil change: How often?

I have been changing the oil about every 100 hours. Just read somewhere that 300 hours is OK? What weight would you use up in New England for this time of the year. I generally will pull my boat out for the season in late December. =============================== 300 hours is like 20,000 miles on your car. I change mine every 50 to 100 hours, once a year minimum. I would lean towards 50 hours for a Diesel unless that is continuous running. The combustion byproducts that end up the oil are both corrosive and abrasive. In any case, no less than every three months of use. Mark Browne |
