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 Service Classification CE
  • API Service Classification CD
  • API Service Classification CC
