Oil Viscosities for Air Temperature Ranges

Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range during the period between oil changes.

Using single viscosity grade oils such as SAE 30 or SAE 40 can reduce oil consumption in air cooled engines.

John Deere Turf-Gard™ is preferred.

The following John Deere oils are preferred:

• John Deere Plus-4™
• John Deere Plus-50™ II

Other oils may be used if above John Deere oils are not available, provided they meet the following specification:

• ILSAC GF-5
• API Service Category SN
• API Service Category SM
• API Service Category SL
• API Service Category SJ
• ACEA Oil Sequence A5
• ACEA Oil Sequence A3
• ACEA Oil Sequence A1
• ACEA Oil Sequence C4
• ACEA Oil Sequence C3
• ACEA Oil Sequence C2
• ACEA Oil Sequence C1
