5.2: Engine Oil
The engine oil used in the Combi-Lift should have the correct temperature
range for the ambient temperature in which the machine is to be operating.
Temperature affects the viscosity of the oil and therefore it’s lubricating
properties.
Engine Break in Service
The engine is ready for normal operation. However, extra care during the first
100 hours of operation will result in more satisfactory long-term engine
performance and life.
DO NOT exceed 100 hours of operation with break in oil.
The engine is factory filled with John Deere ENGINE BREAK IN OIL
(SAE10W30).
Operate the engine at heavy loads with minimal idling during the break in
period.
If the engine has significant operating time at idle, constant speeds, and/or
light load usage, or makeup oil is required in the first 100 hour period, a longer
break in period may be required. In these situations, an additional 100 hour
break in period is recommended using a new change of John Deere
ENGINE BREAKIN OIL and a new John Deere oil filter. For further details
please see engine manual that was supplied with this truck.
