Information on Engine Oil Change — Tractors with 4-Cylinder Engine

Change engine oil at least once a year. Service intervals vary depending on the type of engine oil used and the sulfur content of the diesel fuel. When changing engine oil, always change the oil filter.

At every oil change, note the type of oil used in the service record. The next oil change is determined using the table below.

NOTE: Other factors can influence the oil change interval, see the section "Engine oil".
