Read articles →This is a hands-on owner walkthrough of switching a John Deere 3025E from 15W-40 to 0W-40 full synthetic oil, including draining, filter swap, refill (4.8 quart spec), a fuel sample check for water/debris, greasing the loader zerks, checking hydraulic fluid and tire pressure, and mounting a fire extinguisher. It's casual and unpolished but covers real maintenance steps and touches on synthetic oil cost and cold-weather reasoning. Good for owners considering the same oil switch.
Posted by the stuntcardriver channel, an owner-operator documenting routine maintenance on their own 3025E.
It calls for 4.8 quarts. The owner put in almost five, saying that small overage doesn't really matter either way.
Yes. A parts seller said when switching to synthetic the engine may burn some oil at first until it gets used to it, so keep an eye on levels.
The drain plug is a 17 mm.
John Deere says running their 0W-40 synthetic can add an additional 500 hours to the normal change interval, and it should perform better in cold weather.
