The engine is ready for normal operation. However, extra
care during the first 100 hours of operation will result in
more satisfactory long-term engine performance and life.
DO NOT exceed 100 hours of operation with break-in oil.
1. This engine is factory-filled with John Deere ENGINE
BREAK-IN OIL (SAE 10W-30). Operate the engine at
heavy loads with minimal idling during the break-in
period.
2. If the engine has significant operating time at idle,
constant speeds, and/or light load usage, or makeup
oil is required in the first 100 hour period, a longer
break-in period may be required. In these situations, an
additional 100 hour break-in period is recommended
using a new change of John Deere ENGINE
BREAK-IN OIL and a new John Deere oil filter.
