Oil Viscosities for Air Temperature Ranges


Failure to follow applicable oil standards and drain intervals can result in severe engine damage that might not be covered under warranty. Warranties, including the emissions warranty, are not conditioned on the use of John Deere oils, parts, or service.

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


John Deere Plus-50™ II oil is preferred.

John Deere Plus-50™ is also recommended.

John Deere Torq-Gard™ is also allowed.

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

  • API Service Category CK-4
  • API Service Category CJ-4
  • API Service Category CI-4 PLUS
  • API Service Category CI-4
  • API Service Category CH-4
  • API Service Category CG-4
  • API Service Category CF-4
  • ACEA Oil Sequence E9
  • ACEA Oil Sequence E7
  • ACEA Oil Sequence E6
  • ACEA Oil Sequence E5
  • ACEA Oil Sequence E4
  • ACEA Oil Sequence E3
  • ACEA Oil Sequence E2

If oils meeting API CG-4, API CF-4, or ACEA E2 are used, reduce the service interval by 50%.

Multi-viscosity diesel engine oils are preferred.

Diesel fuel quality and fuel sulfur content must comply with all existing emissions regulations for the area in which the engine operates.

If diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 5000 mg/kg (5000 ppm) is used, reduce the service interval by 50%.

DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 10 000 mg/kg (10 000 ppm).
