Engine Operation
ZE59858,000004C -19-16SEP14-1/1
Break-In Service
1. This engine is factory-filled with John Deere Break-In
Plus oil. Operate the engine at heavy loads with
minimal idling during the break-in period.
2. If the engine has significant operating time at idle,
constant speeds, and light load usage, or make-up
oil is required in the first 100 hour period, a longer
break-in period may be required. In these situations,
there are two acceptable options. 1. Drain the oil and
replace with fresh Break-In Plus oil and a new John
Deere oil filter (recommended). 2. Continue running
the engine with the same oil and filter for up to a
maximum of 500 hours.
3. Check engine oil by pulling out the oil dipstick located
the right side of engine. Check oil more frequently
during engine break-in period. If oil must be added
during this period, John Deere Break-In Plus Oil is
preferred. See John Deere Break-In™ Plus Engine
Oil in the Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolants Section for
other oils allowed.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT fill above the top of the
crosshatch pattern or the FULL mark,
whichever is present. Oil levels anywhere
within crosshatch are considered in the
acceptable operating range.
4. During the first 20 hours, avoid prolonged periods of
engine idling or sustained maximum load operation.
5. If engine idles longer than 5 minutes, stop engine.
6. During the initial operation of a new or rebuilt engine
with Break-In Plus, change the oil and filter between a
minimum of 100 hours and a maximum of up to 500
hours. See Changing Engine Oil and Replacing Filter
in the Lubrication & Maintenance — 500 Hours/12
Months Section. Fill crankcase with seasonal viscosity
grade oil. See Diesel Engine Oil in the Fuels,
Lubricants, and Coolants Section.
NOTE: Some increase in oil consumption may be
expected when low viscosity oils are used.
Check oil levels more frequently.
If air temperature is less than 0°C (32°F), use
cold weather starting aids. See Cold Weather
Operation in the Engine Operation Section.
If air temperature is less than 0°C (32°F),
use an engine block heater.

7. Watch coolant temperature and oil pressure gauges
closely during engine operation. If gauge does not
indicate more than minimum oil pressure specification,
stop the engine and determine the cause. If coolant
temperature rises above 113°C (235°F), the engine
reduces power automatically. Unless temperature
drops quickly, stop the engine and determine the
cause before resuming operation.
Monitor oil pressure and coolant temperature
specifications.
