# How often should the different oils and lubricants be changed on my vessels?

The service life or the change interval of a lubricant is generally determined by the OEM.

The OEM may define the change interval as a defined duration based on time or equipment running hours.

They also may define minimum/maximum oil parameters that are determined by oil analysis.

Please refer to the equipment manual, service guidelines, or directly to the OEM for these recommendations.
