ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL
New engines are filled at the factory with John Deere
ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL. During the break-in period,
add John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL as needed to
maintain the specified oil level.
Change the oil and filter after the first 100 hours of
operation of a new or rebuilt engine.
After engine overhaul, fill the engine with John Deere
ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL.
If John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL is not available,
use a diesel engine oil meeting one of the following
during the first 100 hours of operation:
•
API Service Classification CE
•
ACEA Specification E1
After the break-in period, use John Deere PLUS-50
or
other diesel engine oil as recommended in this
manual.
IMPORTANT: Do not use PLUS-50 oil or engine
oils meeting API CG4, API CF4,
ACEA E3, or ACEA E2 performance
levels during the first 100 hours of
operation of a new or rebuilt engine.
These oils will not allow the engine
to break-in properly.
