Hi, I did not even know that I have to change oil on those things ? Are they not self maintained as well. I see that sometimes in the ads?
I found at least on amazon the oil for it: Amazon Concept2 Rowing Machine Chain Oil? Not sure if that is the right one then? Hope this helps? Let me know.
Hi again, Yes I do have a indoor rower. Actual it is not mine, but from my wife, and she used it a lot.
Maybe I should try it ones
And before you ask, it is the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine.
And she really likes it. I was always looking at it as just another exercise machine. (Next to the tread mill, and weight lifting equipment (I use those)
I would like to use it, but I simple do not have the time doing it. Busy with selling website's on the internet, and programming for other people
So I only do the weight lifting part now, and beside that I do a lot of running. And that keeps me pretty good in shape.
But you forget a small detail in this. I like running more then doing indoor rowing with a exercise machine. I love to be outside. And most people who are telling that running is bad for your joints have never done some running, because if they did, they would know that you have to build it up, to get no problems with your joints.You do a lot of running and you do weight training so you do have time for exercise, everyone has time for exercise. You could replace the running with rowing. Running can takes its toll on the joints, replacing a few running workouts with rowing would benefit your body.

I think that whatever kind of sport you do, you can always damage your body by overdoing it. I love to run, and have no problem with it. Just prefer doing that as an outdoor sport. Instead of doing indoor rowing.
How long does it take to do maintenance yourself? I have never done it so now that I am planning to buy a rowing machine for my home use, I need to know what kind of time and money I have to spend on maintenance activities. If you can provide a link to a website that offers clear instructions, I'll really appreciate.
