Protect your most valuable assets with Genuine John Deere oil, filters, grease, and coolants that give you the John Deere quality & standards that you expect.

Full Fleet Solution Plus-50 II is a premium heavy-duty diesel and marine engine oil engineered for use in applications including off-road, farm equipment, construction, marine engines, mining, and industrial (pumps and generators). Plus-50 II is also perfectly suited to a variety of light and heavy-duty applications, including over-the-road trucks, personal automotive, or commercial transportation. It is excellent for use with low- or high-sulfur diesel fuels in standard, turbocharged, or supercharged engines, including modern low-emission diesels such as those equipped with EGR systems. Your engine deserves Plus-50 II. So does your operation. From homeowner to heavy-duty, down-in-the-dirt applications, Plus-50 II delivers the performance and protection you need for a successful operation. We put our name on it. Available in SAE 0W-40, SAE 5W-40, SAE 5W-30, SAE 10W-30, SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-4, SAE 10W, SAE 30, and SAE 40.

Formulated Specifically to Inhibit Wear Corrosion, Sludge, Soot, Varnish, and Oxidation
– Robust additive system and high-quality base oils
– Reduced oxidation (oil thickening)
– Viscosity remains stable throughout extended drain intervals
– Stays at 15W-40 (viscosity) grade until the end of drain interval
– Competitive oils viscosity increased over 100 percent
– Results in minimal deposit formation and optimal engine performance
– Other oils are not approved for extended intervals.

What Makes John Deere Engine Oil Different from Standard Engine Oils?
At John Deere, engine oil products are being created or improved at the same time new machines are being developed. We are ready with products that provide the best protection the day a machine is sold to a customer. Our machines are designed to work in heavy-duty off-road conditions. Most standard engine oils are developed for on-road applications. It’s important for a customer to match the engine oil and service intervals to the type of work the machine is doing. The more robust the work, the more hardy the oil needs to be.
Superior Product for Current and Older Engines
Plus-50 II oil is a robust oil that provides excellent protection for your engine. It allows you to extend drain intervals by 50 percent when you use John Deere filters and can save you more than 30 percent in maintenance costs. Plus-50 II is ahead of the curve when it comes to emission standards. Although most of our equipment did not need to meet Tier 4 regulations until 2011, we made Plus-50 II available two years early so our customers could be prepared.
Do Competitive Oils Developed for Minimum Equipment Requirements Result in Cost Savings?
John Deere provides customers with high-performance fluids that will result in fewer machine failures and longer oil life for more savings to customers in the long run. If John Deere does not set the standard, competitors will not make the improvements required for our new machines. John Deere never compromises quality to save money up front.

You may have seen this comparison between on-highway and off-road applications as we recognize four major performance challenges for off-road applications:
The first is Higher Load Factor: Off-road applications experience higher load and mechanical stress, which means more engine wear.
The second is Increased Thermal Stress: Oil temperature in a tractor is about 10 deg. C higher than in a semi truck, effectively doubling the rate of oil degradation.
The third is Fuel Sulfur Content: 500-ppm sulfur limit for off-road versus 15-ppm Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel for on-highway and sulfur-degraded oil.
The fourth is Dust and Moisture: When drawn into the engine, dust causes abrasive wear and moisture produces corrosion, which are not problems for applications on clean, paved highways.

John Deere fun fact



New AutoTrac™ Ready John Deere Gator™ Brings Precision Ag Technology to Utility Vehicles
There's no doubt that precision ag technology has changed the way we farm. Expanding this technology to Gator Utility Vehicles provides the opportunity for further flexibility in how—and when— precision ag technology can be used by farmers and ranchers.
"We've seen the productivity gains our customers have experienced while using AutoTrac technology on their tractors, but we also recognized the need to bring this technology into a smaller, more nimble machine," said Maureen McCormack, Go-to-Market manager, Gator Utility Vehicles for John Deere.
AutoTrac Ready Gator Utility Vehicles come factory-equipped with a JDLink™ modem, and the necessary wiring harness and brackets for John Deere technology hardware. Customers can connect receivers and displays they already own, or they can order a new display or receiver for model year 2023 utility vehicles.
With the Generation 4 4640 display and StarFire™ receiver, operators can use their Gator Utility Vehicle to create new boundary lines, leverage guidance lines for soil sampling, reduce overlap when spraying, and connect the UV to the John Deere Operations Center so it can be managed with the rest of their fleet. The hands-free steering capability increases efficiency and versatility.
"The integration of AutoTrac into Gator Utility Vehicles provides the opportunity to bring precision ag technology to operations of all sizes," said McCormack. "And with a smaller and lighter UV, farmers can get into fields earlier in the spring when the ground may be too soft for heavier tractors."
The AutoTrac Ready option can be ordered on model year 2023 full-size cab units including the XUV835M HVAC, XUV835R, XUV835R Signature Edition, XUV865M HVAC, XUV865R, and the XUV865R Signature Edition.
