There's something in the maintenance manual for the Predator 3500 that's confusing concerning oil changes.
In the chart it says change oil monthly or 8 hours, then 6 months or 100 hours, and finally yearly or 300 hours.
So which is it?
I didn't see that when I downloaded the PDF (don't have one but looked at the online manual on HF's site)... Interesting.
For the price, why change the oil at all, just run it until it pukes and buy another....lol.
I'm also wondering now if Locin is building the Pred motors for HF in as much as the motor in the 3500 appears to be the 212cc Pred motor that is bulletproof. If so, I'd follow the oil change sequence for the Pred 212 cc 6.5 horse engine.
Humor aside, I'd say using the maintenance schedule for the 212cc Pred motor would work fine.
