Oil & Fuel john deere oil filters?????????

Look into Baldwin filters. "One of the very best filter product lines!"

I hope you never have failure caused by a Wic/Napa filter . It happened to me. $10,000.00 (plus labor) Hydro drive unit. (953 Cat loader) Both pump & motors destroyed with Wic/Napa filters. Just because the filter will install/screw-on Wic/Napa will say the filter will work. Cat. voided all warranty with any Wic/Napa filters installed! Ouch!!!!

Go to the Baldwin filter website to locate the nearest dealer.

During warranty period, it would seem foolish to risk anything other than the OEM filter. If anything should happen when using the branded filter, your warranty is covered absolutely. If you put on another filter, you risk trying to get a settlement out of a NAPA or a Fram or a whatever. I just cannot imagine having to get one of those outfits to settle with me. Ugh. If a OEM filter fails, for whatever reason, the dealer who sold me both the tractor and that OEM filter is gonna make good on it. That's my thinking. After the warranty is up, then that's a whole new ballgame.

I needed to replace my hydraulic filters a couple of weeks ago and i found out how expensive they were from JD, so i called around and NAPA and Oreillys were both higher priced so i bought the JDs. You would think the aftermarket ones would be cheaper. I couldn't belive that a hyd filter cost $37.00, but they do.

........ I couldn't believe that a hyd filter cost $37.00, but they do.

Some hydraulic filters cost significantly more than $37.00. Seems crazy but you don't have much choice but to pay the big price.

I use JD filter for tractor,, In or out of warranty ,as others have said, buying 1 engine filter,or hyd filter a year , most of the time the other brands cost more.

Same here ... JD filters, grease, and soon to switch to JD 0W40 synthetic oil at the next oil change. I'm no expert, but from reading several other sites (such as "Bob is the Oil Guy) from people who know a heck of a lot more than I do, that JD makes fine maintanence products at reasonable prices. The oil especially gets rave reviews. Not only is the cost usually lower than non-OEM products, it gives me an excuse to visit my dealer & say hi. I feel it shows support for my dealer and makes me a familiar face the next time I purchase a new tractor.

I "worked out a deal" were my dealer gave me a better price if I bought an entire case of oil (6-1 gal jugs) of the 0w-40 Plus50 Synthetic...got it cheaper then Delvac1 or Mobil 1...so I now run JD oil in ALL my vehicles here...

Hmm... 1 gallon jugs? Talked with my dealer and he said that it only comes in 2-1/2 gal jugs or 5 gallon pails.

I went with the 5 gallon buckets for both Hy-Gard lo-vis hyd oil and the Plus50 Synthetic engine oil.

I was kinda concerned about "measuring" the number of pumps needed to make a quart - a gallon - etc. and dust collecting around the spout, drips, messy, etc.

Not a problem. Instead of a row (or two) of gallon jugs and quart bottles taking up room on the garage shelf - I've got 2 pails on the floor - and an empty gallon jug with measured points for a quart, etc.

Mobil 1 is $23.50/gallon at Wal-Mart. Plus50 at my JD dealer is $15.90/gallon. I've got everything switching over to Plus50.

He USED to be right, as up until recently that was true. This fall they released gallon containers, and they dropped the 2.5 gal jugs....

Parts MGR offered me a good deal on a pail of 0w40....but for the same reason as you, I didnt want to mess with measuring out the correct amount of quarts, etc.. I am keeping my empty gallon jugs though so if I can get that same deal on a pail, I will just refill my 5 gallons...

I keep a pail of HyGard LoVis in stock here too....
