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 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
• ACEA Oil Sequence E9
• ACEA Oil Sequence E7
• ACEA Oil Sequence E6
• ACEA Oil Sequence E5
• ACEA Oil Sequence E4

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.

DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 10000 mg/kg (10000 ppm).
