Changing Engine Oil and Replacing Oil Filter
NOTE: Change engine oil and filter for the first time
before 100 hours maximum of operation, then
every 250 hours thereafter.
If John Deere PLUS-50™ or ACEA-E7/E6/E5/E4 engine
oil and a John Deere oil filter are used, the oil and filter
change interval may be extended by 50 percent or to 375
hours.
IMPORTANT: If using BIODIESEL blends greater
than B20, shorten oil change interval to half
the recommended service interval or monitor
engine oil using OILSCAN to ensure that fuel
dilution does not exceed 5%.
NOTE: On Gen Set engines used as standby units,
oil and filter change can be extended to 350
hours.
No extended interval for oil/filter change
is allowed beyond 350 hours.
OILSCAN™ or OILSCAN PLUS™ is a John Deere
sampling program to help you monitor machine
performance and identify potential problems before
they cause serious damage. OILSCAN™ or OILSCAN
PLUS™ kits are available from your John Deere dealer.
Oil samples should be taken prior to the oil change. Refer
to instructions provided with kit.
To change engine oil and oil filter:
1. Run engine approximately 5 minutes to warm up oil.
Shut engine off.
