bDuring engine break-in, change the oil and filter for the first time before 100 hours of operation. cIf the recommended engine oils, John Deere PLUS-50or ACEA-E4/E5, are not used, the oil and filter change interval is reduced to every 250 hours. If diesel fuel with a sulfur content greater than 0.05% is used, the oil and filter change interval is also reduced. 6-Cylinder engines with oil pan option codes 1907, 1908, and 1909 require the oil to be changed at every 250 hours regardless of oil specification used. dReplace crankshaft damper every 4500 hours or 60 months, whichever occurs first. eIf John Deere COOL-GARD is used, the flushing interval may be extended to 3000 hours or 36 months.
If John Deere COOL-GARD is used and the coolant is tested annually AND additives are replenished as needed by adding a supplemental coolant additive, the flushing interval may be extended to 5000 hours or 60 months, whichever occurs first.
