Changing the oil in John Deere lawn tractors in 30 seconds is realistic

Lawn tractor maintenance has never been easier. Thanks to John Deere designers – this task can be completed in half a minute and with just one hand.

Changing the oil in a lawn mower or lawn tractor can be a messy and time-consuming task. This means constantly putting off oil changes until the next time, and oil that isn’t changed on time tends to shorten engine life and quickly reach its end of life, at best.

John Deere designers solved this problem of mower ownership and oil change with the Easy Change Oil Change System in 30 seconds.

The Easy Change oil change system allows lawn mower owners to change their oil and oil filter by simply unscrewing the current filter cartridge and screwing on a new filter cartridge, which contains both oil and filter, without having to drain the old oil. The remaining oil in the engine is refilled with new oil as part of the Easy Change system. Combined with up to 40 per cent more engine oil, improved filtration and lower operating temperatures, it is no longer necessary to remove and dispose of all the oil in the engine when servicing it. Simply install the Easy Change system.

The Easy Change system started to be used in 2018 on the following 2018 model year 100 series lawn tractors: E120 , E130 , E150 , E160 , E170 and E180 .

John Deere recommends changing the oil for 100 Series lawn tractors by changing the system every 50 hours or once a season, whichever comes first.
