I already put in an order for 2 Ford Motorcraft FL-1A filters so I have then next time in the shop. As for oil, I think I will do synthetic next time. Thanks for watching! Like and Subscribe.
Just fyi you can change that oil every 10 hours and it’s still going to be just as black. All diesels do this. I have the exact same backhoe and it runs black too.
Well the manual says 500 hours between oil changes but I will not go that long. Probably 200 hours with this aftermarket filter and basic oil. Next time I will probably go synthetic and get the OEM oil filter and maybe do 300 hours, but probably not. I like to change around 200-250 hours on my equipment. Of course if at 200 the oil still looks like new I may push it a little longer. This last change was REALLY needed. I think it was needed since I bought it.

Sorry about the loud backhoe engine noise starting at 5:45. I thought it was quieter in the video than that.
Great
Thank you. Hope it was helpful.
Man that really needed an oil change. I would change that again in the near future.
Yeah, it's on the shirt list to change again. I will put on a good filter and probably go synthetic next time.
Diesel oil goes black right away. Just because its black doesn't mean it needs to be changed.

How many hours will you put on your machine before changing the oil again?
