(1) Lubrication schedule
Time schedules indicated on the Lubrication Chart, Fig. 1, are approximate. They are based on
average operating conditions. It may be necessary to lubricate more frequently under severe oper-
ating conditions such as: low engine temperatures, excessively heavy loads and high oil tempera-
tures, or intermittent operation. However, time intervals should not exceed those indicated in the
chart without careful evaluation.
(2) Oil specification
Oil recommended by the engine manufacturer is identified by a military specification number, MIL-
L-2104B. Because of the substantial increase in additive concentration in some MIL-L-2104B oils
to meet service “MS” requirements, recommended oil is qualified still further by the following limita-
tions
(a) Zinc, as zinc diorganodithiophosphate, between a minimum of 0.07 and a maximum of 0.10
percent by weight.
(b) Sulfated ash
(ASTM D-874)
of 1.00 percent maximum by weight, except lubricants that con-
tain only barium detergent-dispersants where 1.50 percent by weight is allowed.
Diesel lubricating oil specifications are discussed in the John Deere Diesel Handbook for Diesel
Engines.
(3) Oil viscosity
The use of an SAE-30 grade oil is recommended for year-round service.
To assist in engine starting during cold weather when SAE-30 oil is used, an optional ether start-
ing aid is available from Hobart Brothers Company. Multigrade oils are NOT recommended, and
should be considered only as a “last resort” to facilitate engine starting.
(4) Changing engine oil
Change engine lubricating oil following the instructions in the John Deere Engine Shop Manual
(Chapter 6).
Lube oil capacity for this engine is 18 quarts.
(5) Changing engine oil filter
Change the oil filter following the instructions in the John Deere Engine Shop Manual (Chapter 6).
E. Starter
The starting motor is lubricated at assembly and should be relubricated only when the starter is re-
moved from the engine or when disassembled.
Remove pipe plugs on outside of motor and apply a few drops of light engine oil to the oil wicks.
