John Deere Break-In™ Plus Engine Oil

New engines are filled at the factory with John Deere Break-In Plus™ Engine Oil. During the break-in period, add John Deere Break-In™ Plus Engine Oil, as needed to maintain the specified oil level.

During the initial operation of a new or rebuilt engine, change the oil and filter between a minimum of 100 hours and maximum equal to the interval specified for John Deere Plus-50™ II oil.

Operate the engine under various conditions, particularly heavy loads with minimal idling, to help seat engine components properly.

After engine overhaul, fill the engine with John Deere Break-In™ Plus Engine Oil.

If John Deere Break-In™ Plus Engine Oil is not available, use an SAE 10W-30 viscosity grade diesel engine oil meeting one of the following:

• API Service Category CJ-4
• ACEA Oil Sequence E9
• ACEA Oil Sequence E6

If one of these oils is used during the initial operation of a new or rebuilt engine, change the oil and filter between a minimum of 100 hours and a maximum of 250 hours.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any other engine oils during the initial break-in of a new or rebuilt engine.

John Deere Break-In™ Plus Engine Oil can be used for all John Deere diesel engines at all emission certification levels.

After the break-in period, use John Deere Plus-50™ II or other diesel engine oil as recommended in this manual.
