Transmission/Axle and Hydraulic Oil

IMPORTANT: Use JDM J20C viscosity oil ONLY in the 18 Speed Powershift transmission. Shift quality could be affected and/or damage to the transmission could occur if another viscosity oil is used.

Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range during the period between oil changes.

The following oils are preferred:

• John Deere HY-GARD ®
• John Deere Low Viscosity HY-GARD ®

Other oils may be used if they meet one of the following:

• John Deere Standard JDM J20C
• John Deere Standard JDM J20D

Use the following oil when a biodegradable fluid is required:

• John Deere BIO-HY-GARD ™ ¹

¹BIO-HY-GARD meets or exceeds the minimum biodegradability of 80% within 21 days according to CEC-L-33-T-82 test method. BIO-HY-GARD should not be mixed with mineral oils because this reduces the biodegradability and makes proper oil recycling impossible.
