Background
The first 100 hours of operation are critical to
the life and performance of an engine. During the first hours of operation, the
rings and liners must seat (establish a pattern) for proper performance. If
this does not occur, the life of the engine can be adversely affected.
John Deere Engine Break-In Oil (part number TY22057) is a special-blend oil developed to be used in rebuilt or remanufactured engines and new John Deere engines during the break-in period.
This unique oil is formulated with special additives to allow the power cylinder components (pistons and liners) to "wear-in" while protecting other engine components (valve train and gears) from abnormal wear. These additives control piston and liner seating without scuffing. This oil also provides excellent piston deposit control. As a result, piston rings and liners establish a good wear pattern for maximum performance and extended engine life.
High-quality premium engine oils should not be used as a break-in oil. The superior anti-wear characteristics of premium oils will inhibit the proper matching of components which could result in excessive oil consumption.
John Deere Break-In Oil is an excellent oil for new or rebuilt non-John Deere engines. Engine rebuild instructions should be consulted to determine if special requirements are needed.
Consult the operator's manual for the break-in period. John Deere Break-in Oil has a 100 hour maximum drain interval.
Instructions
New John Deere engines are filled at the factory
with John Deere Engine Break-In Oil. During the break-in period, add John Deere

TY22057) as
needed to maintain the specified oil level.
Change the oil and filter after the first 100 hours of operation of a new or rebuilt engine.

After the break-in period, use John Deere PLUS-50 or other diesel engine oil as recommended in the engine's Operator's Manual
Important
Do not use PLUS-50 oil or engine oils meeting API
CH-4, API CG4, API CF4, ACEA E3, or ACEA E2 performance levels during the first
100 hours of operation of a new or rebuilt engine. These oils will not allow
the engine to break-in properly.
