On our last blog, we shared a comprehensive Sprayer Maintenance Seasonal Checklist to help you keep track of your spray equipment's maintenance requirements. We often focus on the tank, strainer and pump more than anything else when it comes to maintenance, however, the engine also needs some TLC.

Here at Sprayer Depot we get plenty of questions regarding equipment care, and a common question is "How often should I change the engine oil?"
