My Ford dealer (has Quick Lane) lets you bring your own oil and filter, why doesn't yours?

Thanks. I also have a 329E Deere compact track loader at our Texas home.. I try to use the skid steer in CO every I am there, usually for toting firewood around..

I read the manual wrong. It says for high altitude reduce the interval by 50% but then it had an example chart that showed 60 hours instead of 120 hours. Manual does say 500 hours so that would be 250 for high altitude. So I reckon I will do it every 2 years and keep on warming it up when I am...

Helpful post. LOL. Looking for someone that did an oil analysis...........

Polaris says every 50 hours, 1000 miles or once a year. If the machine isn't used much are yearly changes still recommended? I run Rotella T6 5w40 in it.

I have a Deere diesel skid steer at our CO vacation home. Doesn't get used much. Put 63 hours on it in 4 years. Changed oil 6 months after I got in and this is the second time.. Deere advises changing oil at 60 hours vs 120 because of high altitude. When we are there I always warm it up to boil...

The better diesel has additives one being an additive to increase cetane. Cetane increases fuel economy. No mystery. The question is, do you run that fuel or buy regular fuel and add a quality additive like Optilube?

Thanks, I just drained and refilled the gearbox, hydraulic and PTO today. I used Traveller 90W GL1 mineral oil from Tractor Supply for the gear box and first reduction gear. For the hydraulics and PTO I used Hygard

Originally Posted by CJWinWA I've owned a number of two cylinder John Deere tractors and have used both fluids.

I have been researching power steering fluid for my 1958 John Deere 620. I found lots of old threads on the antique tractor forums saying that you have to use Deere's AF2235R. They say the pumps don't work correctly unless its John Deere. Then others that use Hygard without issue. Here is what I...

I have lots of equipment, John Deere tractor, compact track loader, Bobcat welder, Honda generators, mowers etc that aren't used very much. Some less than 5 hours per year, others maybe 20 hours. I change the tractor and track loader oil once per year. What about the smaller engines? Once per...

Deere specifies high altitude as over 5500'. My farm in Texas is 850' AMSL. My place in Colorado where the skid steer is going is 8518' AMSL

Originally Posted by CR94 Is that a diesel? Yes, A Deere 320G with a Yanmar turbocharged diesel. My '14 329E compact track loader has a Deere engine and it makes no mention of high altitude. So I at first thought it was due to something about the Yanmar being different than the Deere engine...

Hi I just bought a new Deere skid steer and it recommends to replace the engine oil at half the normal interval when operating at high altitudes. I have never heard of this before. Have you?

Who makes Motorcraft's diesel additive? Are there any other studies on diesel fuel additives than that one from dieselplace.com that is so controverial? I have been using Diesel Kleen in my Deere tractors and Powerstrokes with no problems so far

I believe that the 10-30W claims to give you 1% better fuel economy than the 5-40W If you figure getting 10mpg towing then you gain .1mpg. On a 2000 mile trip you would save 2 gallons of diesel fuel. At the typical 17mpg unloaded hwy mpg you gain .17mpg I will stick with the 40W which is what...
