Service Intervals

Oil and filter service intervals in John Deere diesel engines are based on a combination of factors, including:

one. The type of engine oil and filter in the application.

2. The sulfur content of the diesel fuel.

three. The book of oil in the arrangement.

four. The power output of the engine.

We recommend changing the oil and oil filter at least once every 12 months, even if the hours of performance are fewer than the otherwise recommended service interval.

Service Intervals for John Deere Tier four Emission Certified and Older Diesel Engines

Operators using John Deere Tier four emission-certified and older diesel engines may now utilize 500-hr oil and filter service intervals across what is published in the Operator�southward Manual when all of the following conditions are met:

1. John Deere Plus-l Ii and John Deere filters are used.

ii. Use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel with a sulfur content less than 0.0015% �������������(fifteen mg/kg or xv ppm) is required.

Refer to the Operator�southward Manual for the equipment/engine for the engine-oil and filter service recommendations.

Service intervals for John Deere Tier 4 emission-certified diesel engines:

Operators must follow the engine-oil and filter service interval recommendations in the Operator�southward Manual.

These engines are designed to deliver power while operating at a reduced emission level. They must use diesel fuel with 15 ppm or less sulfur (ULSD) and diesel engine oil rated at API CK-four, CJ-4, ACEA E9, or ACEA E6 to remain in compliance with emission regulations. Employ of other specification fuel or

oils in Interim Tier four and
Tier 4 engines can result in emission noncompliance and premature DPF service requirements. John Deere Plus-50 2 is the product recommended for these applications and the only product(b)
canonical for extended service intervals in John Deere diesel engines.

(a) This 500-hour service interval is at present possible in John Deere Tier iv emission certified and older diesel engines because of two favorable factors: At the time when these engines were placed into service, operating conditions regarding oil class and fuel types were dissimilar. Engines commencement service in the U.S. earlier the 1990s were operating with API CE or lower service grade oils. The diesel fuel for on-road applications was at v,000-ppm sulfur, with off-route up to ten,000 ppm. Environmental concerns and industry regulations have driven improvements to the oil types available, equally well as significant reductions in the sulfur level of diesel. John Deere Plus-50 Two is designed for performance through longer service intervals, handling the estrus and contaminants of combustion, while maintaining viscosity, lubricity, detergency, dispersants, and acrid-buffering backdrop. Diesel fuel sulfur levels have been reduced from as much as 10,000 ppm to the electric current xv ppm, equating to the elimination of over 99.5% sulfur. These converging factors deliver the achievement of 500-hour service intervals with the oil organisation chapters already designed into existing John Deere Tier 3 emission-certified and older diesel engines.

(b) Break-in� Plus is besides recommended for and supports an initial oil-service interval equal to that of Plus-50 2.

Performance level comparison

Oil is not but oil.


At that place is a difference betwixt loftier performance oils and oils that just meet the minimum industry requirements:

� Universal competitive oils in the marketplace merely have to meet minimum functioning levels set up past the API. Using minimum-level oils will result in reduced performance and shorter engine life.

� John Deere Plus-l� II Premium Engine Oil exceeds all industry requirements and meets the high standards set by John Deere engineers.

� John Deere Plus-50 Ii Premium Engine Oil is adult to requite the maximum engine protection and the longest life possible.

During the form of oil evolution and qualification, we test the oil under extreme weather using a specially developed engine examination:

� This test was developed by John Deere as a standardized test.
It is the most severe diesel engine test in the manufacture for lubricant thermal-oxidation.

� It involves running a John Deere engine for hundreds of continuous hours, without oil top-upward under extreme test conditions.

� The objective of the exam is to ensure the oil can survive the severest conditions our engines may experience, including piston deposits, wear, and oil oxidation over the service life of the oil.

� This is the master engine oil test used by John Deere to determine how well an oil will perform in heavy-duty, off-road applications.

�


� Cleaner engine and less piston deposits than with competitive oils.

�

�
High initial alkalinity and good reserve at the end of recommended drain interval, allowing connected acid protection.

�



� Excellent depression-temperature fluidity.

Q. Exercise Torq-Gard� and Plus-fifty II have the same base of operations oil?

A. The aforementioned type of loftier-quality base oil blends are used in all John Deere lubricants.

Q. Where can Plus-50 2 engine oil be used?

A. Primarily designed for off-highway, heavy-duty diesel engines, Plus-50 II oil also gives fantabulous functioning in on-highway, heavy-duty diesel fuel applications.

� All diesel engines requiring SAE 15W-40 and API CK-4 classification oil. Plus-50 II is also available in SAE 10W-thirty, 5W-40 and 0W-40.

Q. Are at that place any applications where Plus-fifty 2 should not exist used (such equally irrigation engines or power units)?

A. Some engine manufacturers have oil recommendations that specify a unique product for an application. For case, ii-cycle Detroit Diesel recommends an ash level below 1.0% and a straight SAE forty viscosity grade. Some engines designed for natural-gas or liquid-propane fuels usually recommend that ash levels exist held below 0.5%.

� Plus-50 Ii should not be used for initial fill in new or rebuilt engines. John Deere Break-in� Plus oil is available for this purpose.

Check the Operator’s Manual for oil recommendations before making any changes in engine oil type.

Q. What is the advantage to a client who intends to keep changing oil at 100-hour intervals?

A. Use of Plus-50 2 is added insurance. With Plus-50 2, the engine will run cleaner, with less article of clothing and more than power, even if used for only 100 hours.

Q. The customer states, �I�ve used co-op oil for 12 years and never had a problem. Why should I change to Plus-50 2?�

A. This depends on the customer�s definition of a �problem�:

� If Plus-50 II is used, the client volition have a cleaner engine, more power, and less wear.

� Information technology is non a matter of avoiding catastrophic failure, but rather a matter of better performance and the extended life of the engine.

Q. Can I put 2018 oils into 1960 machines?

A.
Operator’south Manuals are to be used equally the guideline in all cases.

Equally a note, older manuals volition not recognize any advances of technology occurring after the product was introduced.

� John Deere-marketed lubricants take into consideration older-model units and the recommendations for the utilize of these lubricants in those units.

� Plus-50 II is recommended for use in all John Deere diesel engines and may be used in older John Deere and competitive engines recommending the use of API operation grades CH-four, CI-4, CI-four PLUS, CJ-4, and CK-4.

� In full general, older (lower alphabetical designations) API performance designations can be replaced with newer (higher alphabetical designations) API performance levels without affecting engine performance.

� Functioning and longevity are unremarkably improved past this switchover.

Q. Volition changing my brands of oil cause my engine to consume oil differently?

A. When upgrading to Plus-l II oils following the use of other oils, fiddling differences in oil-consumption charge per unit should be expected. A small percentage of engines may feel a noticeable change in oil-consumption rates.

� Those engines experiencing decreased oil consumption should crave no further attention.

Commonly no increase in consumption will be observed. Nevertheless, if information technology does occur, it may exist due to one of the post-obit factors:

� The previously used oil production may take built up deposits on internal components.

� Introducing a premium-functioning oil with different condiment systems which incorporate additional detergents, dispersants, anti-wear characteristics, and antioxidants that may cause different chemical reactions to occur in the deposits already established.

The fourth dimension required for the engine to regain previously observed oil-consumption rates with the new oil may vary from one to three normal drain intervals. This miracle is not unique to John Deere engines and oils simply is normally reported for competitive engines when switching to competitive oils.

Q. What specifically shows Plus-50 II is better than other oils?

A.

Plus-50 2 is evaluated using a special high-temperature engine test, which is beyond what is required for API rating. This is a severe test of the oil�s resistance to oxidation and thickening. It is also a severe test of the oil�s ability to go on the pistons make clean.

Q. Later I bought several pails of Plus-50 II oil, I found a few gallons of Torq-Gard. Can I mix the two until I�ve used upwards the Torq-Gard?

A. While the two oils are uniform and mixing of the two John Deere oil formulations is adequate, mixing should not be done on an extended basis.

� Mixing with Plus-50 II should be limited to curt-term topping-off situations only.

� When mixing these oils, the extended-drain feature of Plus-50 Ii would not be applicable.

Q. I changed my oil inventory from Torq-Gard� SAE thirty to Plus-50� II SAE 15W-40. Now I need to elevation off the oil prior to an oil change. Tin I add Plus-50 II 15W-twoscore to the SAE 30 in my engine?

A. Aye, a erstwhile mix of the two formulations and viscosities is allowed; however, mixing is not recommended equally an ongoing practice or during extreme conditions such as cold atmospheric condition

or continuous high loads.

Q. Tin I change from SAE 30 to 15W-40 oil in my John Deere engine?

A. Yes. Meet below for farther details:

� In older equipment Operator’s Manuals, SAE 30 is recommended.

� Due to the improved additives in multi-grade oil, we now adopt customers use 15W-twoscore oil.

� The customer now has the option to select the oil that best meets his equipment�s operating weather condition.

Q. Tin can I use Plus-l Ii oil as a �suspension-in� oil subsequently rebuilding an engine?

A. No, it is not recommended for use as a �break-in� oil. A rebuilt engine must be allowed to properly clothing-in the piston rings and the cylinder liner walls during the kickoff 100 hours of operation. Although Plus-50 II has superior lubrication properties, information technology is recommended yous apply
John Deere�s Burglary� Plus Special-Purpose Engine Oil.

Q. What causes the engine not to interruption in during the start 100 to 500 hours?

A. I main factor that volition delay an engine�s pause-in time is operating the engine under less than high-load weather (pulling a trailer, baler, or lighter load) as this may not provide enough loaded piston activeness to cause ring and liner seating.

Another factor that may interrupt the burglary process is the introduction of a premium lubricant, similar Plus-50 2, prior to the completion of the break-in process.

To ensure there is no delay, we recommend the operator run the engine nether high-load conditions and at diverse engine speeds during the break-in period.

Q. Tin I use Plus-l II oil when an API classification of CF-two is required?

A. No,
API CF-ii classification is for 2-bike diesel engines only.

Oil used in these types of engines commonly crave a low ash content of less than ane% and
single-viscosity oil.
Since
Plus-50� Ii is a multi-viscosity oil,
information technology is not recommended as it doesn�t meet both requirements noted (less than 1% ash
and
single viscosity).

Q. I use Torq-Gard SAE 10W oil in the winter and Torq-Gard SAE 30 in the summer. Tin can I use Plus-50 2 15W-40 oil year-round instead of changing oil grades seasonally?

A. Aye, Plus-50 II SAE 15W-40 can be used yr-round. That would eliminate the possibility of having the wrong viscosity oil in the crankcase if an unseasonal hot or cold spell should occur. For the ultimate in cold-temperature stability, cold-flow ability, and quick lubrication, consider using Plus-50 2 SAE 0W-40 full synthetic formula. (Check your Operator’s Transmission for the proper depression-temperature range.)

Q. Should I utilize Plus-50 II in a new tractor?

A. Yep, it is the recommended oil for John Deere engines after the break-in catamenia. As a reminder, for the first 100 hours (minimum), John Deere recommends Burglary Plus engine oil.

Q. What oil is in new John Deere engines?

A. New John Deere engine-powered equipment is shipped with our special-purpose
Burglary� Plus
oil. If additional oil is needed during the normal burglary period, use John Deere Burglary

Plus, oil for top-off. Exercise non add oil prior to the oil level dropping to the add mark on the dipstick.

Q. Tin can I go 500 hours with Plus-fifty II (CK-4 / E9) in a Tier iv or older engine?

A. Yes, when all of the post-obit conditions are met:

� John Deere Plus-50 Two and John Deere filters are used.

� Use of Ultra Depression Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel with a sulfur content less than 0.0015% (fifteen mg/kg or fifteen ppm) is required.

� The original-book oil pan (or larger) that was delivered with the engine is still in utilise, and the oil level is maintained at normal volumes through the service interval.

� The engine is operating within the original factory specifications affecting ability output, including engine control units (ECUs) and fuel-delivery systems.

This is possible in John Deere Tier 3 emission-certified and older diesel engines considering the original oil-sump capacity aligned with using college sulfur level diesel fuel as written in the original Operator�s Manuals. We recommend irresolute the oil and oil filter at to the lowest degree once every 12 months, even if

the hours of functioning are fewer than the otherwise recommended service interval.

Q��� What affect does using biodiesel have on my engine oil service interval when I am using Plus-l Two? – IS THIS Still TRUE??

�John Deere Power Systems has a potent delivery to the environment, energy security, and technological advances that take a positive bear upon on both.

Biodiesel certainly meets these criteria. While B5 blends are preferred, biodiesel concentrations up to 20 percent (B20) composite in petroleum diesel can be used in all John Deere engines, providing the biodiesel used in the fuel alloy meets the standards set by the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) D6751.

Extensive testing was performed with B20 in the development of Plus-l 2. Due to variations in the quality of feed stock used in biodiesel production and the lack of testing by other engine oil manufacturers, we provide the following oil service interval modifications when using biodiesel fuel blends:

ULSD (B0) to B30���������������� no alter in oil service intervals

To a higher place B30����������������������������� 50% reduction to oil service interval*

*Service intervals could exist extended through the use of oil analysis

IMPORTANT: To prevent engine damage, monitor engine oil based on engine oil analysis. Engine oil analysis tin can provide data for evaluating wear debris, dirt levels, and remaining useful life of the engine oil. Contact your John Deere dealer for more information on engine oil analysis. We recommend changing the oil and oil filter at least once every 12 months, fifty-fifty if the hours of functioning are fewer than the otherwise recommended service interval.
