About this tool
Enter your machine's hour meter and this lays out the standard service schedule - what is due next, at what hour, and how many hours away - so nothing slips. It uses the baseline intervals common across heavy equipment: greasing, engine oil and filters, fuel and air filters, hydraulic and final-drive service, coolant, and more, tailored slightly to the machine type you pick.
These are typical, conservative intervals - a good planning default when the manual is not in front of you. Your model's operator manual has the exact figures and always takes priority, and severe conditions (heavy dust, high heat, constant heavy loads) shorten them. Sampling oil is the best way to fine-tune change intervals for your machine and duty cycle.
For model-specific intervals, use the operator or maintenance manual for the exact serial range. The AI assistant can help locate an official source, but any values it finds still need to be checked against that manual.
Frequently asked questions
Are these intervals right for my exact model?
They're standard baselines, not your model's factory schedule. Most machines land close to these, but the operator manual is the authority - use it for the exact hours, and shorten everything for severe-duty work.
How often should I change hydraulic oil?
Commonly around 2,000–5,000 hours depending on the machine, oil type, and duty. This tool uses a conservative baseline. Oil analysis is the reliable way to set the real interval - it can safely extend or, in dusty work, shorten it.
Are heavy equipment service intervals based on hours or miles?
Heavy-equipment maintenance is scheduled by engine hours, not calendar time or miles. The tool takes your current hours and finds the next multiple of each interval, so you see exactly how many hours until each service.
How often should you grease an excavator or loader?
Pins and bushings are greased very frequently - often every 10 operating hours or daily - because they carry high loads with little oil film. Some sealed joints go longer; check the lube chart for your machine.
Does severe duty really change this much?
Yes. Dust, deep mud, high altitude, extreme heat or cold, and continuous high load can roughly halve oil and filter intervals. When in doubt, service earlier and use oil analysis to confirm.
