I have a 2008 Ranger trailer with oil hubs as well. I have never been so confused about maintenance in my life. Every person I talk to says something different.
In the Ranger literature that came with the boat it says to change the oil every 3 years. Some guys say you should do the bearings and/or oil every year. Some say you can go years and 20,000 miles with no problem. Some say those hubs suck, and you should change them to grease.
I can't figure those things out at all. I'd love for someone to sort the whole thing out.
I bet you could go the 20,000 miles with no problems. I do mine every year (maybe 10k), for the piece of mind. I mainly do the service just to check the hub tightness, not so much because I think the oil needs to be changed. Like I said, it only takes a couple of hours for all 4 in my garage, and it's completely worth it to me... but to each their own.
The cool hubs only get filled 1/2 way... hope this helps.
