8.3.10 Service life of the lubricants
Note
In case of ambient conditions deviating from normal conditions, e.g.
high ambient
temp
eratures, high relative humidity, aggressive ambient media, the intervals between
changes should be shorter. In such cases, contact Technical Support for assistance
in
determining the individual lubricant change interval.
Note
Oil sump temperatures abo
ve +80 °C can reduce service life. A temperature increase by 10 K
halves the service life by the amount as shown in the figure titled "Guide values for oil change
intervals".
For a +80 °C oil sump temperature, the following service life can be expected when observing
the properties specified by Siemens AG:
