Engine Crankcase Oil Fill Quantities

RG25483-UN-11APR14

Option Code Label

A - Engine Base Code

Each engine has a 13-digit John Deere engine serial number. The first two digits identify the factory that produced the engine:

“T0” indicates the engine was built in Dubuque, Iowa, while “CD” indicates that the engine was built in Saran, France and “PE” indicates Torreon, Mexico

In addition to the serial number plate, Marine engines have an engine option code label affixed to the rocker arm cover. These codes indicate which of the engine options were installed on your engine at the factory. When in need of parts or service, furnish your authorized servicing dealer or engine distributor with these numbers.

The engine option code label includes an engine base code (A). At times it will be necessary to furnish this base code to differentiate two identical option codes for the same engine model.

To determine the option code for the oil fill quantity of your engine, refer to the engine option code label affixed to the rocker arm cover. The first two digits of the code (40) identify the dipstick tube group. The last two digits of each code identify the specific dipstick and tube assembly on your engine.
