OILSCAN™ or OILSCAN PLUS™ is a John Deere sampling program to help you monitor machine performance and identify potential problems before they cause serious damage. OILSCAN™ and OILSCAN PLUS™ kits are available from your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. Oil samples should be taken prior to the oil change. Refer to instructions provided with kit.

1. Run engine approximately 5 minutes to warm up oil. Shut engine off.

2. Remove oil pan drain plug (B).

   Fill engine crankcase with correct John Deere engine oil through rocker arm cover oil filler cap (A) or oil filler cap on either side of engine depending on engine application. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL in Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant Section for determining correct engine oil.)

   To determine the correct oil fill quantity for your engine, see ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL FILL QUANTITIES in the Specifications Section of this manual.

10. IMPORTANT: Immediately after completing any oil change, crank engine for 30 seconds without permitting engine to start. This will help insure adequate lubrication to engine components before engine starts.

    NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity may vary slightly. ALWAYS fill crankcase within crosshatch marks on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.

    Start engine and run to check for possible leaks.

11. Stop engine and check oil level after 10 minutes. Oil level reading should be within crosshatch marks (B) on dipstick.
