Engine
The engine is filled with a special oil for breaking it in. 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.
When 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 specifications
-
API specification CE
-
ACEA specification E1

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