Question 1

How often should I change the oil in a Bobcat S70?

Accepted Answer

Change the oil in the Bobcat S70 every 150 hours of run time. Because it is measured in engine hours, log the hour-meter reading rather than a date.

Question 2

What is the maintenance schedule for a Bobcat S70?

Accepted Answer

The Bobcat S70 is serviced on engine hours, not miles. Key intervals include Lubrication Points (every 10 hours), Battery Inspection (every 100 hours), Engine Oil & Filter (every 150 hours). Track the hour meter and service each item when its interval comes due.

Question 3

Does the Bobcat S70 track maintenance by hours or miles?

Accepted Answer

By hours. Small engines and heavy equipment log run time on an hour meter, so their service intervals are hours-based. ServiceSage Auto tracks the Bobcat S70 by hours and reminds you when each service is due.
