M62 Oil Change Interval

[akora12]

My research has turned up everything from 10-100k miles. I've put 8k miles on my s/c since having it rebuilt, so I'm leaning toward 10k miles to be on the safe side. I probably won't swap out the coupler until 30k miles, or until it starts making noise.

What's your interval?

10k seems way too soon. The mechanic that installed mine said at least 50k. I bought my s/c with 40k miles on it and when I changed the oil, it barely looked used. Also the coupler still looked perfect - changed it anyway since I had it apart.

30k is my interval

If you check Eaton, you'll see they were made to be basically sealed and *maintenance free* . There are no access ports to change oil. Eaton states that the SC is good for the life of the vehicle and many SCs have gone through EOM testing (those that come with SC originally) for 100K miles with no maintenance. I have 60K miles on mine with NO problems. I did have an oil leak when it was new and had it replaced, since TRD was F#King up big time with assembly . I got the replacement after 9 months and it's been trouble free. That was back in 2001. Unless you're having noise, I wouldn't mess with it.

Having said that, those with 6lb plus pulleys will see more premature wear.
