Break-In Service

After a minimum of 100 hours and a maximum of 500 hours of operation: □  Replace Break-In™ Plus Engine Oil.

IMPORTANT: If make-up oil is required during the break-in period, John Deere Break-In™ Plus oil must be used whenever possible. New engines are filled at the factory with Break In Plus engine oil.
