RE hydro fluid change interval
My lawn mower holds about 2 quarts of hydro fluid, actually 20W50. The recommended change interval is 250 hours.
My bobcat holds six gallons and the recommended change interval is 1000hrs
My Huskee splitter holds less than the bobcat and quite a bit more than the mower so I figure somewhere in the neighborhood 6-700 hours should be good. At a cord roughly every two hours that is 300+ cords. That's well over 30 years for me.
Changing hydraulic fluid every year is way overkill for most people.
I'm not sure what changing fluid or not would have to do with the OP's problem.
