Go into any Deere dealer and have them order it. Nothing else needs to be done. They will get it in for you. They are a dealership. They might not even have sold any, but, they can get it in for the right price.
Greenpartstore has nothing to do with Deere. It is a profit making enterprise which...
Looks to be twice the price.
John Deere Break-In Oil can be purchased at any Deere Dealer. Green Ag equipment, or Yellow Construction equipment, or even online.
Howdy,
The standard operating procedure for a generator in the field is to use what is issued. 15w-40 oil for oil changes etc... Artic service calls for other oil weights.
Coming from the factory or DRMO reset, the factory fill is break-in oil. Tags stating change after 100 hours. Break-in oil...
Howdy,
OK, they also might have access to Lister-Petter break-in oil.
OCD about break-in?
Any person which has rebuilt or has torn apart a engine will tell you that the beginning running of a engine is critical to its overall life. I guess the military spec for running break-in oil is just...
Howdy,
Yes, the John Deere Break-In Plus oil is designed for engine break-in time. It is a oil which is packaged with additives for that purpose. Another method would be using straight 30wt non-detergent oil and adding some additives.
The LetterKenny depot uses John Deere Break-In Plus when...
Howdy,
1 of my units is a 2007 MEP-802A which had 14 hours on it. I picked that unit up in May 2015. That means it has been sitting around for 8 years with that same oil. Oil itself does start to fade after being introduced to fuel, heat, cold, heat, and use, and non-use. I know engines, and...
Howdy,
slow down a little.
The John Deere Break In Oil Plus is what the military is using. Letter Kenny Depot buys it in bulk. Break-in oil comes in 1 viscosity. It's the military... Yes, they put oil in, they put Deere Break-in plus in and did not go over and read the fine print which says its...
Howdy,
OK, some folks do not understand what break-in oil is. Any new or rebuilt engine uses break-in oil.
The John Deere Break-In Plus oil is in the 10w-30 range. It is non-detergent, so the film builds for break-in. Plus lots of other technology for the break-in process. The break-in period...
Howdy,
You would want to use break-in oil for the simple reason that the engine is new. The break-in period can be different for engines. Most first fill oils are what is known as detergent free. (non-detergent) The break-in process helps set the piston rings. That is why most break-in oils are...
Howdy,
I am now changing my oil. I put a bunch more hours on my unit with the break-in oil, and I feel the unit is broken in. I am going to Deere Plus-50 II 15/40 oil.
Howdy,
I noticed nobody has mentioned anything about break-in oil.
My MEP-802A had 14 hours on the meter (3/07 unit) so it really has been sitting a while. But with so low hours, I wanted to change the oil and all the filters. I put in break-in oil. Sometimes the meters are not true, but in...
