It notes John Deere's 50-hour and 200-hour service intervals and mentions an upcoming fuel filter video. Good fit for owners doing this job themselves for the first time.
Posted by the PovertyPointCustoms channel, an owner performing maintenance on his own 1025R rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
He uses Rotella T5 15W40, a semisynthetic oil he says offers the best of both worlds.
Put in just over 2 liters at the top fill, then check the dipstick and top off; he ended up adding about 200 more milliliters.
Once the gasket touches the engine surface, turn it about another half to 3/4 of a turn. Do not overtighten.
John Deere recommends a 50-hour oil and filter change, then every 200 hours, and he does it at minimum once a year.
