Engine oil and filter change

Engine · every 250 hours

John Deere says initial oil and filter change at 100 hours, then after every 250 hours or as required, whichever comes first. An extended interval is allowed only with Plus-50 oil, a John Deere filter and diesel with sulphur above 0.5 per cent; if all those are not met change at 250 hours. The sheet gives no month figure, so check your handbook.

Remove the filter, check the old seal came off with it, and wipe the filter head clean.
Smear a little clean oil on the new filter seal and fit it hand-tight as marked on the filter.
