Why is an oil change important?

Engine oil lubricates, cools and protects the engine. Over time, the oil deteriorates and loses its function.

 

Regular oil changes provide:

  • Longer engine lifespan
  • Reduced risk of breakdown
  • Lower fuel consumption
  • Stable operation in all working conditions

When should you change the oil on a Massey Ferguson?

Common intervals:

  • Every 100–250 operating hours
  • At least once per year

 

Under heavy use or in dusty environments, more frequent intervals may be required.
