Break-in Engine Oil
New engines are filled at the factory with John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL.
During the break-in period, add John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL as needed to maintain the specified oil level.
Change the oil and filter after the first 100 hours of operation of a new or rebuilt engine.
After engine overhaul, fill the engine with John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL.
If John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL is not available, use a diesel engine oil meeting one of the following during the first 100 hours of operation:
-
API Service Classification CE
-
CCMC Specification D4
After the break-in period, use John Deere PLUS-50
®
or other diesel engine oil as recommended in this manual.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use John Deere PLUS-50
®
or other engine oils meeting API CG4, API CF4 or CCMCD5 performance levels during the first 100 hours of operation of a new or rebuilt engine. These oils will not allow the engine to break-in properly.
