IMPORTANT: To ensure proper shift quality, an oil meeting HY-GARD or JDM J20C specifications must be used.

Shift quality problems and/or drivetrain damage may occur if the HY-GARD or JDM J20C specifications are not followed.

Your tractor’s transmission/axle and hydraulic reservoir is factory filled with John Deere™ Hy-Gard JDM J20C™ oil.

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

Use John Deere™ BIO-HY-GARD™ oil when a biodegradable fluid is required.1

1 BIO-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.
