My opinion, you will not get all of the oil out and you are still paying $50 plus for the easy change oil filter plus extra oil. I made another video using the John Deere parts and it should be easier to change over. Check this video out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html.

Thank you and thank you for the kind words . I’m sure your engine will thank you in the long run!!

Thanks Dan, and thank you for watching:)

Hi Bruce, and your engine will last longer too!! Thank you for watching my video and the kind comment. Please give this a like and tell your friends about my channel to help it grow! It would be great appreciated.

Thank you. Yes, you could do that.

Yup, stick extractor hose down dipstick tube!

I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

Thanks but the new video I put up has everything from John Deere. Check this one out. It has the longer tube with a quick end on it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html.

Hi Chad, I’m glad this was helpful and thanks for the kind comment. I hope your able to get the hose. I have seen that set up before.

30-50 hrs and oil is just a dark amber ready to be changed. so easy

Hi Warren, This was my first attempt video on that subject. I made a better version with the John Deere parts that does include the extension with a cap. Check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html.

Thank you! Well said!

Hi Brian, Im glad you liked the video and hope it was helpful to you! I think you are correct about the internal hex and I just tried to look up on the John Deere web site and did not find anything but the nipple that I use in this video. If you come across the one you are talking about please send me a part number and I’ll try and put in in the description of this video.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines The filter nipple is Deere MIU13767. This is *much* easier with its internal 12mm hex, than the internal pipe wrench with which you were messing.

I’m glad my videos are helpful to you. Thank you for watching and commenting. I was very surprised when I did my first change over and I had to make this video.

Thanks Frank. I’m glad you liked the video and I hope it was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please subscribe and tell your friends to help my channel grow:)

Nice!

It is very important to replace all the oil and the oil filter no matter how you do it. Changing only part of the oil is like only cleaning part of a dirty dish. Would you want a dishwasher that that leaves over half of the food and grime on your dishes? Gross! Partially clean is still dirty.

I agree about using the John Deere parts. I did this video before I new about the parts from John Deere. I always run the machines before performing any oil change. NOT when filming a video as shown. Thanks for watching!

Yes, definitely install the John Deere kit. The parts link is in the description. I am looking for another tractor to perform another video with the John Deere kit. No special tools needed. This video will get the job done. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please give this a like and tell your friends about my channel to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated.

Correct on both. Use the John Deere conversion kit. I put it in the description. It is easier to install and you do not need special tool to install the nipple adapter.

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful:)

Use the John Deere kit part number so it will be even easier than this video. I’m waiting for another one to come in so I can make another video using the kit. I think there all out of stock on Amazon but I’m sure you can order one from your nearest John Deere dealership. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Please give this video a thumbs up, subscribe and tell your friends to help my channel grow. It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michelle, thanks for watching and the kind comment. John Deere are not bad for the price. The truth is, the more $ you spend the better product you get. Unfortunately most of us do not want to or do not have the extra $ to invest in a higher end machine. Husqvarna also just like John Deere have inexpensive and better quality machines so again you may not have been happy with a Husqvarna purchase depending on $ spent.

Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful:)

I do believe it will work with your engine. You may want to call John Deere. I think they also my have all parts needed to change it over or you can do it my way.

Hi Sean, thank you! Check out the link with my updated video using all John Deere parts. It is a much easier kit.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thank you will do!

It was a marketing ploy by some idiots who know nothing about engine maintenance. No self respecting engineer or mechanic would ever think of something so incredibly stupid.

As with the computerized bullshit getting locked down in Deere equipment. These people are the screwerovers of the machine industry, and I ain't putting up with it. Husqvarna here I come.

Yes, I need to make another video using the John Deere kit that I have in the description below. The kit comes with the hex adapter.

Thank you but check out my newer video on this subject. It is much better! There should be a link in the description or watch this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html

Make sure you check out my newest video in the link in the description below. It shows me using the John Deere parts to swap out. It is easier than this video. Thank you for the kind comment. Your engine will be much happier in the long run!!

If it is a Briggs engine it should work. Watch my newest updated video using the John Deere kit in the description. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html

You most likely purchased the John Deere kit that I now recommend. You have the easier adapter to install. Here is my newer updated video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html and in the description has tools required.

John Deere had a nice kit. I put that in the description. I agree with you. The next machine I get in, i will remake the video and will fit with the John Deere kit into it.

That is a very good question. I would check with John Deere for that info.

To my knowledge if you use John Deere parts which are available to complete that task , it will not void your warranty

Yes

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Thank you so much my brother for the speedy reply... 💯🚜

You can purchase the John Deere without the quick change oil filter. My opinion is the John Deere are still made by John Deere and if you can afford a X300 series? They will last a long time. Cub Cadet was purchased from MTD many years ago and the quality has suffered since. Cub Cadet tractors produced today are getting better but I still prefer John Deere. That is just my opinion.

Yes, but when changing the oil you should always change the oil filter or your just putting fresh oil into and through a dirty oil filter so it may just cost more in the long run but yes to answer your question.

That question can only be answered by a John Deere dealership. Let me know and we can post it here for other people to see.

Thank you, yes you can change it. Thanks for watching and the kind words.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Can u tell me where I can find parts I need to change? I already have tools in u video, but I have no idea what kinds of parts I should get for my John Deere S160 mower oil filter change.

All part numbers are there for you. You can easily find them most likely locally or order online.

What is your website?

I’m glad it was! Thank you for watching! Please subscribe and tell your friends to help my channel grow ! It would be greatly appreciated:) take care!

Bad design and if you want your engine to last,, I would suggest changing it out.

If it is a twin Briggs and Stratton. It should be between 1.85 and 2.25 quarts. Refer to the engines owners manual for the correct amount.

If you have a Briggs and Stratton twin cylinder engine, yes the Briggs filter will work.

Yes it the same but make sure you get the John Deere kit. You will not need the special tool in the video. I made sure the John Deere part numbers are in the description. I’m going to make another video using the John Deere parts but need a tractor that needs the kit first! Thanks for the kind comment. Please give this video a thumbs up, subscribe and tell your friends to help my channel grow. It would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I changed the kit to make it easier. I need to do the video over. The next machine I get in that I will change out, I will show the kit from John Deere.

Hi Shawn, I’m glad it was helpful. Make sure you get the John Deere kit in my description below. It will be easier to install and you should not need the extra tool. Thanks for the kind comment.

Here is the link for the Briggs and Stratton oil filter used on this engine. If you have the Briggs twin engine this will be the correct oil filter. amzn.to/3j6FNaM

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines the model number on my engine is 44u877. Same filter?

Yes, same filter. Thank you for supporting my channel!

Look in the description and just purchase the John Deere kit. You will not need the pipe nipple installer. I need to re do the video but to busy. The John Deere kit will come with everything you need except the Allen wrench to install the oil filter nipple. The part number for the John Deere kit is MIU13767B

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Perfect thank you for the fast reply - GREAT video.

Glad you liked it, Thank you for watching :)

Thanks for watching! I would contact your local John Deere dealer to help you with that question.

You seriously only want to change part of the oil and leave most of the old, dirty oil in the engine? Next to not changing oil at all, that is the easiest way to destroy an engine that I ever heard of.

Hi Lee, I made a newer version video with all the "John Deere parts". Watch this video,kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html. for a better version and all parts needed are in the description. The kit is. John Deere conversion kit. amzn.to/3WlnPTj

If the engine is the same as the one on the video, then yes it will work. The engine that is I. The video is a Briggs and Stratton twin cylinder engine.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines i bought mine today its the v twin 22 hp i haven't even started it yet i will get the numbers off of it where do i go to look up the parts. thank you for your response.

Go to parts catalog.Deere.com/jdrc/

I’m not sure if that will work on a hand held device. If you email me through my website I can put a link in there to your email. Or try John Deere Parts Catalog on a search engine

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thank you sorry it took so long went through web sight and found what i need thanks

I do it the way there are no issues. I would just worry that the loctite would get on the oil filter and you would have issues getting the oil filter off or it would take the fitting out with it.

I’m glad it was helpful:)

If the engine is the same, yes. Use this video, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CXprtkrq7GdZs.html. I made a second video so you can use the John Deere parts to make it even easier to change over.

Yes, as long as your engine is a twin Briggs and Stratton like the one in this video.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Thank you!!

I'm am no where near you. Just order the John Deere kit online. It is better and easier to install than what I have in this video. I will make another video when I have a John Deere in that will need to change out but until I get that just use the John Deere kit. amzn.to/3EnaZfI

I agree! Very poor design.

Yes. If the engine is a Briggs and Stratton Twin.

My personal opinion on oil changes vary on conditions where the machine is being used. To be safe I would suggest between 40 and 75 hours depending on use. Always change the oil filter when changing the oil.

Every start of season is my rule of thumb

The John Deere x300 series are a nice step above the 100 series tractor. Your machine is a good one! Thank you for watching:)

Any X series are super solid, and with good maintenance should be able to get to 1000 hours with minimal issues

Yes, I made another video. It’s in the description below.

Ouch!! , check out my newest video in the link in description. It uses all of John Deere parts and is easier to install.

I think JD saw that most people ignore the recommended oil change intervals, so they came up with the "quick and easy" filter change so even lazy people would at least change a portion of the oil and the oversized filter, would help clean the oil. After seeing how much oil is left, I'm going to go back to the traditional oil change method with synthetic oil. I wonder if we can get an oversized oil filter for it, like the easy change filter. (that size). The easy change JD filter is super fast and easy to change, but I'm not going to risk a large investment with old oil. My engine only has 40 hrs on it and the oil is still clean (after 2 quick change filters), so I hope I caught it in time, to save the engine from unnecessary wear.

I would call John Deere and confirm the John Deere part number for (the kit) your model. Once you have the John Deere number, you will be able to make that determination from there.
