About to service my JD 6300...just wondering what peoples thoughts are on using JD plus-50 oil or just go with a good grade 15w-40?
Cheers.
250 hrs if on an E5 ( now obsolete ) specification. +50 is E7 and meant you could extend the drain time by 50%, to 375 hrs. But I believe it was the introduction of the 10 series Deere’s that coincided with the initial launch of +50.What is the service interval hrs for the 6300 is it 500hrs
People want to skimp on price, not quality. Hence this thread.Can't understand the logic on wanting to skimp on oil quality.
Don’t think anyone is trying to skimp On quality it’s being ripped of by gready companies Who don’t even make oil.Whole threads on here devoted to the high cost of tractors and other engine powered farm equipment, can't understand the logic on wanting to skimp on oil quality.
Even a lifetime of the most expensive oil is cheaper than an engine rebuild.
That all said in an older tractor like a 6300 I wouldn't be afraid to run a generic oil , but I would pay attention to my oil change intervals.
The point of the thread is to question are we paying for a superior oil product that genuinely will give greater engine protection or are we getting are leg lifted...Whole threads on here devoted to the high cost of tractors and other engine powered farm equipment, can't understand the logic on wanting to skimp on oil quality.

According to the German department for unfair competition, during their investigation in 2019, ”misleading” may be a better term to use.The point of the thread is to question are we paying for a superior oil product that genuinely will give greater engine protection or are we getting are leg lifted...
Personally ,would have it changed ,Kind of off topic how important is it to change engine oil on brand new JD tractors? The first oil change that’s to be done at 100 hrs. I have two here that are near 200 hours and the JD mechanic who was here this morning said to run them on for a few hundred more!?? It does not matter to me as they won’t be here long but what are peoples views?
50% more priced plus 50 =2 and what we use ,How much more per barrel is the JD stuff compared to the equivalent oil from company that makes it for them?
Ours was 750 hours when the dealer serviced it and we kept to dealer service longer than we intended .because we had a dealer change and we didn’t now them and tractor being nearly new .500 hour oil change now i do it myself . Was speaking to the dealer and said I didn’t agree with 750 hour oil change. He said yes have spoken to JD about this because 6R 750 hours and 6m 500 hour service with the same engine. JD said just do as we say .Personally ,would have it changed ,
and this 750 hours between changing
do ours at 500 , and back end filters same time ,then back end oil at 1000, ,maybe ott ,but not had any issues yet ,
Keep us informed claas oil is Total lubricants.50% more priced plus 50 =2 and what we use ,
going to ask our claas man today what oil they reccomend for the goat powered claas

So what your saying is it’s £60 (probably every 500h so 12p an hour) to change the oil on a 6 cylinder machine that’s worth 10’s of thousands?!&600 for a 205 of plus 52 or what ever it’s called
