Fuel and Lubricants
For information on the properties of the diesel fuel available in your area, contact your local fuel distributor. Diesel fuels are typically blended to meet the low temperature requirements of the geographical area in which they are sold. Diesel fuels conforming to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are advised. Renewable diesel fuel, which is made by hydrotreating animal fats and vegetable oils, is nearly identical to petroleum diesel fuel. Renewable diesel that complies with EN 590 or ASTM D975 can be used at all percentage mixture levels.
Diesel Engine Oil
Use an oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range between oil changes. John Deere Plus-50 diesel engine oil is recommended by the company. Other oils that John Deere 5055e can use are as follows:
- John Deere Torq-Gard
- API Service Category CJ-4 and Plus
- API Service Category CI-4
- API Service Category CH-4
- API Service Category CG-4
- API Service Category CF-4
- ACEA Oil Sequence E9, E7, E6, E5, E4, E3, E2.
Reduce the service interval by half if API CG-4, API CF-4, or ACEA E2 oils are used.
Diesel Engine Coolant
The engine cooling system is filled to provide year-round corrosion and cylinder liner pitting protection, as well as winter freeze protection to -37°C (-34°F). If lower-temperature protection is required, consult your John Deere dealer for recommendations. John Deere’s recommended coolant oil is as follows.
- John Deere COOL-GARD II Premix
- John Deere COOL-GARD II PG Premix
When a non-toxic coolant formulation is required, use John Deere COOL-GARD II PG Premix.
