Buda Engine Company's story begins in 1910 when it set out to provide powerful and dependable engines to fuel the needs of a rapidly industrializing America.

Maintenance Tips

Regular Oil Changes: Adhere to Buda's recommended oil change intervals (typically every 100-200 hours of operation) using the specified oil viscosity (often SAE 30 or SAE 40 depending on the engine model and ambient temperature). Using the correct oil ensures proper lubrication and cooling.
Air Filter Maintenance: Inspect and clean or replace the air filter regularly (every 50 hours in dusty conditions). A clean air filter is crucial for preventing dirt and debris from entering the engine, which can cause premature wear.
Cooling System Checks: Routinely inspect the cooling system for leaks, corrosion, and proper coolant level. Use a coolant mix specified by Buda (usually a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze) to prevent overheating and corrosion.
Genuine Parts for Critical Components: When replacing vital engine components such as pistons, rings, and valves, consider using genuine Buda or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This will help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Seasonal Maintenance: Prepare your Buda equipment for seasonal changes. In colder climates, ensure the cooling system has adequate antifreeze protection and consider using a lower viscosity oil for easier starting. In warmer climates, ensure the cooling system is clean and functioning efficiently to prevent overheating.
