    There’s no combustion in a wind turbine either, so why do they need changes more frequently?

      Because of higher efficiency requirements and because the wind turbines have a much larger number of smaller moving parts.

      The oil requirements of nuclear are all on the first construction, mining, and refining of the fuel. Very little is required at the operation of the reactor.
