When should the lubrication oil of a fire pump engine be changed?
📘 NFPA Guidance (Reference: NFPA 25 – Inspection, Testing & Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems) clearly defines the maintenance frequency:
✅ NFPA Clause-Based Maintenance Requirements
🔹 Lubricating Oil – Clause 8.1.1.2.1(7)
Lubricating oil in fire pump engines shall be changed every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
🔹 Lubricating Oil Filters – Clause 8.1.1.2.1(8)
Oil filters shall be changed every 50 hours of operation or annually to ensure clean oil circulation and engine protection.
🔹 Fuel Filters – Clause 8.1.1.2.1(9)
Fuel filter(s) shall be replaced as needed, but at a minimum every 50 hours of operation or annually.
🔹 Sacrificial Anodes – Clause 8.1.1.2.20
The condition of sacrificial anodes shall be inspected annually and replaced if required to prevent corrosion damage.
🔍 Why This Matters
Neglecting oil and filter replacement can lead to:
Engine overheating
Premature wear and failure
Fire pump non-availability during emergencies
💡 Compliance with NFPA is not just a recommendation—it’s a life safety requirement.
📌 Regular maintenance ensures reliability, compliance, and readiness when the fire pump is needed the most.
