Service jobs and parts
Engine oil and filter change
Engine · every 500 hours
John Deere says change the oil filter after the first 100 hours, then every 500 hours when Plus-50 II oil and a genuine John Deere filter are used. The sheets do not give the shorter interval for other oil, so check your handbook for it. Change the oil with the filter.
| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine oil | 1 | 15W-40 (10W-30, 5W-40 or 0W-40 in colder weather). Plus-50 II, ≈13 L with filter. Aztec Oils match: EMPROTEC EHPD 15W-40 | check your handbook |
| Engine oil filter | 1 | RE504836 |
Step-by-step
- Warm the engine, park on level ground, lower the linkage, loader and any implement, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
- Let it stand a few minutes. Hot oil burns, so wear gloves.
- Remove the sump plug and let the oil drain fully.
- Remove the filter, check the old seal came off, and wipe the filter head clean.
- Oil the new filter seal and fit it hand-tight as marked on the filter.
- Refit the plug and fill with Plus-50 II to the full mark.
- Run the engine for a minute, check for leaks, stop it and recheck the level.
Tools: Drain tray (10 L), Filter wrench, Spanner for sump plug, Funnel, Gloves, Rags
Fuel filters (primary and final)
Fuel · every 500 hours
John Deere says replace the primary and final fuel filters every 500 hours.
| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |

Tools: Screwdriver, Dust mask
Transmission and hydraulic filter
Transmission · every 600 hours

| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic filter | 1 | SJ11784 |
Step-by-step
- Check your transmission and pump size, then order the right filters.
- Park on level ground, lower the linkage, loader and implements fully, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.

Tools: Drain tray, Filter wrench, Gloves, Rags
Engine air filter, secondary (safety) element
Engine · every 1,200 hours
John Deere says service the secondary air filter every 1,200 hours or as required.

|---|---|---|---|
| Secondary air filter | 1 | RE253519 |
Step-by-step

- Run the engine and check for oil leaks around the housing.
Tools: Spanners or screwdriver, Rags
Engine air filter, primary (outer) element
Engine · when needed
John Deere's April 2021 sheet lists the primary air filter but gives its interval only under the secondary filter heading (service every 1,200 hours or as required). Check your handbook for the primary interval.
| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary air filter | 1 | 5085M, 5100M, 5115M | SU20768 |
Step-by-step

Transmission and hydraulic oil and filter change
Transmission · when needed
John Deere's sheets give the oil quantity but not the oil change interval, and disagree on the quantity (53 L or 39.5 L), so check your handbook. The filter is always changed with the oil.
| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hy-Gard oil | 1 | UTTO tractor transmission oil. See fluids. Aztec Oils match: AGRITEC UTTO | check your handbook |
| Hydraulic filter | 1 | SJ11784 |
Step-by-step
- Park on level ground, lower the linkage, loader and implements fully, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
- With the engine off, work the spool and linkage controls to relieve hydraulic pressure.
- Let hot oil cool for a while, then drain it from the drain plugs.
- Refit the plugs and fit the new filters.
- Fill with Hy-Gard, run the engine, work the hydraulics through their full travel, lower everything and recheck the level.
Tools: Large drain tray (200 L), Spanners, Filter wrench, Pump or funnel, Gloves
Diesel particulate filter (DPF): dealer service
Exhaust · when needed
The 5M has a DPF. John Deere says see your dealer for service; the sheet gives no hour interval.
| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel particulate filter | 1 | 5085M, 5100M, 5115M. Dealer service | RE568454 |
Step-by-step
- Watch the display for exhaust filter warnings and let regenerations finish.
- If the warning stays on, book DPF replacement or cleaning with a John Deere dealer within 250 hours.
- Never work near the exhaust until it has cooled; it runs very hot, especially after a regeneration.
Tools: Dealer service tool
Front axle and final drive oil change
Front axle · when needed
The front axle has its own Hy-Gard in the housing and wheel hubs. John Deere's sheet gives the quantities but not the interval, so check your handbook.
| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hy-Gard | 1 | ≈5 L housing, ≈0.8 L per hub. Aztec Oils match: AGRITEC UTTO | check your handbook |
Step-by-step
- Park on level ground, lower implements, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
- Turn the wheels so each final-drive plug is in the drain position your handbook shows.
- Drain the housing and both final drives.
- Refit the drain plugs and fill each to its level plug with Hy-Gard.
Tools: Drain tray, Spanners, Oil pump or squeeze bottle
Coolant replacement
Cooling · when needed
Cool-Gard II protects against liner pitting, corrosion and frost but wears out. John Deere's sheet gives the quantity but not the interval, so check your handbook and test the coolant every year.
| Part | Qty | Notes | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cool-Gard II coolant | 1 | See fluids (sheets disagree) | check your handbook |
Step-by-step
- Only work on a cold engine; the cooling system is under pressure when hot.
- Drain the system from the radiator and engine drain points into a clean tray.
- Flush with clean water, refit the drains and refill with the correct Cool-Gard II mix.
- Run the engine up to temperature, let it cool and top up the level.
Tools: Drain tray, Hose, Coolant test strips

Known problems
Sheets disagree
The April 2021 and March 2022 sheets differ on transmission oil quantity, coolant quantity, fuel filter numbers and the crankcase vent filter interval. Check your handbook.
No 5125M sheet
No John Deere filter sheet for the 5125M could be found.
Oil change interval
Deere's sheets only give the 500-hour interval, which needs Plus-50 II oil and a Deere filter.
Repair guides
- Hard starting, stalling or fuel starvation: changing the fuel filters and priming (6R, 6M, 5M) (Moderate, 1 hour): Engine cranks but will not start after a filter change or running out of fuel, loses power under load, stalls, or the water-in-fuel warning appears.
- Exhaust warning light, reduced power or DEF warning: owner checks before calling the dealer (6R, 6M, 5M) (Specialist, 30 minutes of checks; repair by a dealer): Warning light for the exhaust filter or DEF, engine goes into reduced power, frequent regenerations, DEF quality or dosing fault codes.
- Slow or weak linkage, noisy hydraulics or transmission warning: owner checks (6R, 6M, 5M) (Moderate, 1–2 hours): Lift is slow or will not lift the usual load, remotes are slow, hydraulic oil looks milky, or a transmission or hydraulic filter warning shows.
- Loss of power, black smoke or engine overheating: air intake and cooling checks (6R, 6M, 5M) (Easy, 45 minutes): Engine hot or coolant temperature warning, black smoke, lack of power, or the air filter warning is on.
