Changing Engine Oil and Filter

NOTE: The initial break-in service interval of a new or rebuilt wet sleeve engine with Break-In Plus must go at least 100 hours to assure the surface mating of the rings and liners has had an opportunity to occur. The 100 hour minimum applies to all new or rebuilt engines. The maximum service interval is the same as the service interval recommendations listed in Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals for your engine. To confirm which engine your tractor is equipped with, see Section 145 Record Engine Serial Number in this Operator's Manual.

For subsequent oil changes, see Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals for your engine located in section 90 of this Operator's Manual.
