9. Fill engine crankcase with correct John Deere engine
oil through rocker arm cover opening (A) or either side
oil filler (B) depending on engine application. (See
DIESEL ENGINE OIL in Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant
Section for determining correct engine oil.)
To determine the correct oil fill quantity for your engine,
see ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL FILL QUANTITIES in
the Specifications Section of this manual.
IMPORTANT: Immediately after completing any oil
change, crank engine for 30 seconds
without permitting engine to start. This
will help insure adequate lubrication to
engine components before engine
starts.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity may vary slightly.
ALWAYS fill crankcase within crosshatch marks
on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.
10. Start engine and run to check for possible leaks.
11. Stop engine and check oil level after 10 minutes. Oil
level reading should be within crosshatch of dipstick.
