Engine

The engine is filled with John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL. To break in the engine properly, comply with the following points:

- Operate the engine in the mid- to upper load range, and do not idle it for long periods of time.

- Check oil level in engine frequently.

IMPORTANT: Top up with oil only when the level has dropped to the "ADD" mark.

NOTE: During the break-in period a higher-than-usual oil consumption should be considered as normal.

- If necessary, top up with John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL to the "XXX" mark. If John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL is not available, use a diesel engine oil meeting one of the following:

  • API Specification CE
  • ACEA Specification E1

IMPORTANT: During the first 100 hours, under NO circumstances use John Deere PLUS-50 oil or any oil that meets the following: API CH-4, API CG4, API CF4, ACEA E5, ACEA E4, ACEA E3 or ACEA E2. These oils do not satisfy the requirements for breaking in the engine.

- After the first 100 hours, use a type of oil described in the "Fuel, Lubricants, Hydraulic Oil and Coolant" section.
