Hi.
We have bought a Kalmar DRS 4531 and, according to the manual, engine oil and filters have to be changed after 250 hours of service.
What is your experience? Can I change if after 300 hours?
Thanks,
Guido.
Author Thread: Gustavo Zamora Kalmar DRS 4531 Posted: Saturday, December 22, 2007 2:10 PM (CCST) Dear Pedro if the manufacturer says every 250 running hours.What is the reason to do it after 300 hours?What is the diesel fuel quality in your country? Does your diesel oil have the same amount of sulphur than the one that you can get in Europe?Remember that everytime you change oil and oil filters in your machine you are taking away all the dust and particles that went into the engine , protecting that engine and enlarging its useful life and if at the time of each oil change you make a visual inspection of engine components such as damper , etc you are protecting it even more. muhammad Hanif Kalmar DRS 4531 Posted: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 3:25 PM (CCST) Hi.if you want to change oil and oil filters at 300 hrs, you have to check your working envoirment.
