The oil and filter service intervals in the following table should be used as guidelines. Actual service intervals also depend on operation and maintenance practices. It is suggested to use oil analysis to determine the actual useful life of the oil and to aid in selection of the proper oil and filter service interval.
Oil and filter service intervals are based on a combination of oil pan capacity, type of engine oil and filter used, and sulfur content of the diesel fuel.
| Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals |

| Fuel Sulfur |
0.50 - 1.00% (5000 - 10 000 mg/kg) |
| Plus-50 |
187 hours |

| Other Oils |

| The service interval of "Other Oils" may be extended only if oil analysis is performed to determine the actual service life, to a maximum not to exceed that of Plus-50. |
Diesel fuel sulfur level will affect engine oil and filter service intervals. Higher fuel sulfur levels reduce oil and filter service intervals as shown in the table.
-
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.05% (500 mg/kg) is strongly recommended.
|
-
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.05% (500 mg/kg) to 0.50% (5000 mg/kg) may result in REDUCED oil and filter change intervals as shown in the table.
-
BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 0.50% (5000 mg/kg), contact your John Deere dealer.
IMPORTANT:
When using biodiesel blends greater than B20, reduce the oil and filter service interval by 50% or monitor engine oil based on test results from Oilscan.
Oil types
in the table include:
-
John Deere Plus-50
™
II and John Deere Plus-50 oils.
-
"Other Oils" include John DeereTorq-Gard Supreme
™

NOTE:
The 500 hour extended oil and filter change interval is only allowed if all the following conditions are met:
