Its based on a farmer always drained oil in his tractor every 100 - 125 hours with tractors made in the same time frame. Still try to stick to that even though they say with todays oil you can go 2-3 times that. I'm not buying it. Not a big deal to drain it 4-5 times a season, at least not for me. When that oil loses its sweet smell from the marvel mystery oil, tells me its time to change it. Gives me piece of mind to drain every 100-125 hours.
