How often should forklift engine oil be changed?
1 Answers
For new forklifts during the initial break-in period, it is recommended to perform the first engine oil change after 50 hours of operation. Manufacturers generally require users to replace the lubricating oil when the forklift has been used for 300-720 hours. If the forklift has a high idle rate, it is best to change the oil every six months or regularly inspect the oil. Functions of engine oil: Forklift engine oil, also known as forklift engine lubricant, primarily serves to lubricate and reduce friction, cool and lower temperature, clean and remove contaminants, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Appropriately extending oil change intervals: If the working environment of the forklift and the quality of the oil being used are both good, the oil change cycle and interval can be appropriately extended.
