With the new John Deere Easy Change™ 30-second oil change system for certain
100 Series models you can easily change the oil in just a few simple steps -
no more oil messes! We'll show you the basic steps! Remember, before starting any oil
maintenance be sure to recognize safety info, understand safety signals, and be
familiar with your operator’s manual. The first step is to park the tractor safely
on flat ground, engine off, parking brake set, deck down and key removed. With the
Easy Change system, the oil should be changed when the engine is cool. When
you're ready, open the hood and disconnect the spark plugs before
you begin. The next step is to unpackage the new oil filter. Take the filter out
of the packaging, write your machine hours and date of service on the new
filter and take off the rubber cap. To remove the Easy Change Oil System, simply
push and rotate the canister 90 degrees counter clockwise, once it's loose turn it
to the upright position.
Install the new system by aligning the
lock symbol on the canister with the unlock symbol on the engine and rotate
the canister 90 degrees clockwise. It's locked in place when you hear it
click and see that the lock symbols
align. Then check the oil level using the
dipstick. Add oil if necessary. Reconnect
the spark plug wires. Then start and run
the machine at idle to check for any
leaks.
Clean any oil from around the newly installed canister and lower the hood. To
To dispose of the used oil system, put the rubber cap from the new system onto the
used Easy Change System and dispose of the filter appropriately. To purchase
parts or a John Deere lawn tractor with this feature, visit your local John Deere
dealer or a local Lowe's or The Home Depot. For more information visit
