I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I don't find anything about EGRs funny.

That was great thanks!
Took me a bit to get past his editing style but well worth it.

Our county does 100 hour oil changes on all their equipment PM's irregardless of OEM spec. They also sell their equipment every 10 years and replace with new.

I've wondered how much of that is driven by the desire to reduce wear and tear and premature failures vs solving the human error problem of not doing timely maintenance because it's too difficult to juggle maintenance schedules on large fleets with various OEM maintenance specs.

or how much of it is financial, in that they can only depreciate them for so long? That I don't know. Same for this area, though. 10 years, they replace them whether they need it or not.

Why would a government be concerned with depreciation? If their equipment is doing the job shouldn't they use it till no longer works? Sorry, that would be common sense.

Math and finance have completely different meanings in government speak
