32 oz.
Low Viscosity Hy-Gard Hydraulic and Transmission Oil, 32 oz. An exclusive formulation, specifically designed to protect John Deere transmissions, final drives and hydraulic systems. Exceeds the minimum requirements of the JDM J20D specifications.

What kind of hydraulic fluid does John Deere take?

Hy-Gard
In the lab and in the field, Hy-Gard is preferred by John Deere engineers to deliver increased performance and protection of transmission and hydraulic systems. Hy-Gard retains proper viscosity over a wide range of operating temperatures thanks to its polymeric viscosity improver.

What oil does a John Deere tractor use?

10W-30
Recommended Oil Viscosity Grades John Deere prefers that 10W-30 be used in all its gasoline-powered engines, including those on riding mowers. The “W” indicates that the oil was tested at low air temperatures. A 10W-30 weight engine oil is viscous even at temperatures as low as negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the difference between Hy-Gard and low viscosity HY Gard?

There is a difference between this fluid and the regular Hy-Gard fluid: “Low Viscosity Hy-Gard” is specified for use in my 870. When I used the regular Hy-Gard (not low vis) it leaked at the seals, but the “Low Viscosity Hy-Gard” does not leak out.

What weight oil is JD Hy-Gard?

Hy-Gard oil can be used in most applications calling for 10W-30 or 5W-30 engine oil for transmission and hydraulic oils.

Who makes John Deere plus-50 oil?

Chevron formulates and packages John Deere Plus-50 and Northland makes the 0w-40 in the continental United States. In Europe it is made by Petro-Canada.

Is John Deere plus-50 II synthetic?

SAE 0W-40 Plus-50 II is a full synthetic PAO (Poly Alpha Olefin) based oil to provide excellent performance.

What grade is Hy Gard oil?

Hy-Gard fluid is a multi-viscosity fluid with a high-viscosity index. Hy-Gard viscosity places it between ISO 46 and 68 grades.

Who makes John Deere hydraulic oil?

Subject: RE: Who Makes JD Oil? Chevron formulates and packages John Deere Plus-50 and Northland makes the 0w-40 in the continental United States. In Europe it is made by Petro-Canada.

How often should you change oil in a John Deere tractor?

about every 50 hours
John Deere recommends you check your oil level before each use and to change your oil once a season. That’s about every 50 hours of lawn tractor use.

Can you mix low viscosity HY Gard?

Registered. Bill, Quick answer, yes, you can mix. Best answer, no, never mix types/viscosity/brand names of any oils!

What is Hy-Gard used for?

Hy-Gard may be used in many applications specifying either of these grades. A polymeric viscosity improver helps Hy-Gard retain its proper viscosity over a wide range of operating temperatures. For Hy-Gard to work efficiently, it must flow readily through any part of the system.

What are the performance requirements for Hy-Gard?

The performance requirements for Hy-Gard are higher and many more performance tests are mandatory. Note: For commercial and consumer applications, the temperature range for Hy-Gard is -13 ° F (-25 ° C) to 122 ° F (50 ° C) and Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard is -40 ° F (-40 ° C) to 86 ° F (30 ° C).

What grade of viscosity is Hy-Gard?

Hy-Gard viscosity places it between ISO 46 and 68 grades. Hy-Gard may be used in many applications specifying either of these grades. Applications: The exclusive Hy-Gard formula was designed for use in John Deere equipment; however, it can also be used in many non-John Deere transmission and hydraulic systems.

What is Hy Gard transmission fluid?

Hy-Gard and low-viscosity Hy-Gard transmission and hydraulic oils are unique oils developed by John Deere engineers to meet the exact needs of John Deere machines. Both Hy-Gard fluids are multi-viscosity fluids with high-viscosity index. Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard has an ISO 32 viscosity grade.
