It covers draining via the side fill port, breaking loose the painted/sealed drain bolt, swapping the filter (part M806418), refilling with 0W-40 synthetic (John Deere TY2664), and a post-change test drive and dipstick check. Good for new 2025R owners wanting a real-time DIY reference for their first service.
Posted by an owner-operator, Kirby's Tractor Adventures, documenting maintenance on their own 2025R rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
The oil filter part number is M806418, installed with a standard oil filter wrench after lubricating the gasket with old oil.
0W-40 full synthetic oil, John Deere part number TY2664, which has a good temperature range down to minus 40 degrees.
Open the side fill port to let air in so oil flows steadily, then use a 17 millimeter socket to break loose the painted drain bolt and drain into a catch pan.
It is recommended at the 50 hour mark, though this owner did it just under 60 hours after using the tractor all summer.
