Engine oil and filter change

Engine · every 300 hours or every year

Unscrew the old filter cartridge and throw it away. Wipe the seat clean.
Smear the new cartridge's seal with clean engine oil and fit it as the handbook says.
Refit the drain plug with a new washer. Fill with the right amount of 15W-40 (6.7 L, 3-cylinder, or 11 L, 4-cylinder, plus about 1 L for the filter) and check the dipstick.
Run the engine for a few minutes, stop it, wait a minute and recheck the level and for leaks.

Known problems

First service at 50 hours

The plan has the first engine oil and filter and the hydrostatic steering filter at 50 hours, and the transmission and lift filters at 150 hours.

Which Agroplus is yours

The first Agroplus 75/85/95/100 (1998, Deutz 1012 engines) is a different tractor with a 500-hour oil interval; see the deutz-agroplus-75 entry.

Sulphur in the diesel

Halve the engine service intervals if the diesel has more than 0.5% sulphur.

Repair guides

Transmission or hydraulic filter warning lamp: filter changes between oil changes (Moderate, 1–1½ hours): Transmission or hydraulic filter warning lamp, slow lift, sluggish hydraulics, or a newly bought tractor with no service history.
Heavy or jerky steering: hydrostatic steering oil filter (Moderate, 45 minutes): Steering that is heavy, notchy or slow to respond, or a whining noise from the steering pump.
Low brake or clutch fluid, soft pedal: use the correct oil (not DOT fluid) (Moderate, 1 hour): Brake or clutch reservoir low, long or spongy pedal, warning lamp, or the 2-year fluid change is due.
Charging or cooling trouble: drive belt tension and condition (Easy, 30 minutes): Squealing belt, battery not charging, engine running hot, or a worn or cracked belt.

The full step-by-step guides are in Farmyard Workshop once you add your tractor.
