As we all know, the hydraulic system is a closed system and the oil in the system is not being contaminated like engine oil is. Many years ago when visiting the Bobcat dealer with a friend who was bringing his Bobcat in for service, he asked the service manager when it was time to change the hydraulic oil. The response was that they don't change the hydraulic oil based on low hours, but only when the machine gets 900-1000 hours on it or it has gone 3 or 4 years. This begs the question, why does Kubota want the hydraulic oil changed at 200 hours and only the filter changed at 100 hours?
