Warning: I just hit 5000 hours on a single spindle motor and it's still running smooth, which I never thought possible on this old 2008 Mazak.
I was fully expecting a major rebuild at 3500 hours based on the manual, but consistent cleaning and using only the factory grease has proven the spec sheet wrong.

Nice! That's a great run for a 2008 machine. Sticking to the factory maintenance really paid off.

Yeah, @thomasw48 is right. It's proof that taking care of things makes them last.

Guess my 2003 car didn't get the memo. It's falling apart and I followed the manual. Maybe they meant "factory suggested" maintenance for a perfect world where it never rains.
