How often do you guys recommend changing the Oil22 in your Trane Centrifugals? My annual testing from Trane comes back perfect every season and the oil looks like the day it was put in. I know Trane recommends seasonal testing and change the oil when tests dictate but the last change on this 1470 was about 6 years ago. The filter gets changed every season. This machine runs about 2500 hrs a year and has had no issues since start up in 2007.

You could go 10-15 years, I just go off of the color, analysis is a waste of time, usually you hear a problem before it ever shows up on an anyalsis, but it is a necessary insurance evil.

Agreed . Keep her tight and leak free and your good .

After the 1000 hour oil change, you shouldn't have to change it again unless your analysis shows a problem. You should change the filter annually. If you change the oil needlessly, it wipes out the trending on your oil analysis.
