More Than Engine Oil: The Protection Behind John Deere Plus-50™ II
When your machinery is working long hours, the oil protecting your engine has an important job to do. Choosing the right engine oil isn't simply another maintenance decision. It's part of protecting the performance, reliability and working life of your equipment.
John Deere Plus-50™ II is specifically engineered for John Deere machinery, delivering extended service intervals and protection in demanding operating conditions. But there's another important reason to choose genuine John Deere oil: the backing that comes with it.
Protection John Deere Stands Behind
John Deere doesn't just manufacture Plus-50™ II. It stands behind its performance.
If a defect in John Deere oil causes damage to your engine, John Deere will cover the associated parts and labour, regardless of the engine hours.*
For operators relying on their equipment through seeding, spraying, harvest and everything in between, that provides another level of confidence in what's protecting the engine.
It's a commitment that reflects the confidence John Deere has in lubricants developed specifically for the machines they're designed to protect.
Engineered to Go the Distance
Plus-50™ II offers a drain interval of up to 500 hours*, twice the industry norm, helping keep machinery operating for longer between scheduled oil changes.
For your operation, longer service intervals can mean fewer oil changes, reduced maintenance downtime and less time spent in the workshop.
Those benefits become increasingly valuable as machine utilisation grows. When tractors, sprayers and harvesters are working long days during critical seasonal windows, reducing unnecessary downtime can make a meaningful difference.
Not All Oils Are Created Equal
Engine oil has to do much more than simply lubricate moving components.
Inside a modern diesel engine, oil is exposed to extreme temperatures, pressure, soot and contaminants while being expected to maintain its protective properties over hundreds of operating hours.
Plus-50™ II has been developed specifically for these demanding conditions. Its formulation helps protect against oxidation, sludge, corrosion and wear while controlling soot and deposits that can affect engine performance over time.
For modern John Deere engines incorporating technologies such as DPF, SCR, DOC and EGR systems, using an oil that meets the correct specifications becomes even more important.
Designed as Part of the Machine
There's an important difference between an oil that is compatible with your machine and one developed alongside it.
John Deere engineers its lubricants with an understanding of the engines, transmissions and hydraulic systems they'll be working within. Plus-50™ II is designed and tested to meet those requirements, providing protection across demanding operating conditions.
When combined with genuine John Deere filters and maintained according to your machine's recommended service schedule, it provides a complete approach to protecting your engine.
Hear From the Technicians Who See the Difference Firsthand
From routine servicing through to major repairs, they're able to see firsthand what is happening inside the machines they maintain.
Hear from certified John Deere technicians about what they see in the workshop and why the oil you choose can make a difference.
Protect Your Equipment for the Long Haul
Oil might represent a relatively small part of the overall cost of owning and operating machinery, but it plays an important role in protecting some of its most valuable components.
With extended drain intervals, a formulation developed specifically for John Deere equipment and the backing of John Deere if an oil defect causes engine damage, Plus-50™ II offers more than an oil change.
It offers confidence in what's protecting your engine.
