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.

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 ppm) is strongly recommended.
-
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.05% (500 ppm) to 0.50% (5000 ppm) 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 ppm), 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
(premium or standard) in the table include:
-
"Premium Oils" include John Deere PLUS-50
™
, ACEA E7, ACEA E6, ACEA E5, or ACEA E4 oils.
-
"Standard Oils" include John DeereTORQ-GARD SUPREME
™
, API CJ-4, API CI-4 PLUS, API CI-4, API CH-4, or ACEA E3 oils.
NOTE:
The 500 hour extended oil and filter change interval is only allowed if all of the following conditions are met:
Engine equipped with an extended drain interval oil pan
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.05% (500 ppm)
Use of premium oil: John Deere PLUS-50, ACEA E7, ACEA E6, ACEA E5, or ACEA E4
Perform engine oil analysis to determine the actual extended service life of ACEA E7, ACEA E6, ACEA E5, and ACEA E4 oils
Use of an approved John Deere oil filter
