Alternative and Synthetic Lubricants

Conditions in certain geographical areas may require
lubricant recommendations different from those printed in
this manual.
Some John Deere brand coolants and lubricants may not
be available in your location.
Consult your John Deere dealer to obtain information and
recommendations.
Synthetic lubricants may be used if they meet the
performance requirements as shown in this manual.

Mixing of Lubricants

In general, avoid mixing different brands or types of oil.
Oil manufacturers blend additives in their oils to meet
certain specifications and performance requirements.
Mixing different oils can interfere with the proper
functioning of these additives and degrade lubricant
performance.

Lubricant Storage

Your equipment can operate at top efficiency only when
clean lubricants are used.
Use clean containers to handle all lubricants.
Store lubricants and containers in an area protected from
dust, moisture, and other contamination. Store containers
on their side to avoid water and dirt accumulation.

The temperature limits and service intervals shown in this
manual apply to John Deere branded fluids or fluids that
have been tested and/or approved for use in John Deere

Re-refined base stock products may be used if the
finished lubricant meets the performance requirements.
Consult your John Deere dealer to obtain specific
information and recommendations.
Make certain that all containers are properly marked to
identify their contents.
Properly dispose of all old containers and any residual
lubricant they may contain.
