Deere synthetic oil?

Keep in mind that by the time we are at final stage Tier 4 all the engines will have scr plus egr plus particulate filters. Enjoy your simple engines now.

And that's what I was talking about. I thought when I mentioned particulate filters, that DEF would be understood. I believe those other guys are talking about IT4 (interim Tier 4). Here's John Deere's implementation schedule for FT4 engines:
25 to 49 hp (19 to 36 kW)..........2013
50 to 74 hp (37 to 55 kW)..........2012-2013
75 to 174 hp (56 to 129 kW)......2015
175 to 749 hp (130 to 559 kW)..2014
750 (560 kW) and larger.............2015

Anything under 25 hp will not have scr. Lots already have egr, and they have been using it on the HHP tractrs for a while now.

Thanks for the responses. I was planning on upgrading my old 3320 deere due to acquisition of more property and needing more tractor and hp. Pulled the trigger on a new 2012 4120 couple of months ago with 400cx loader and rear remotes to get ahead of full tier 4 emissions which my dealer said would be on 2013 deere compacts with an additional bump in selling price to compensate for the emmision technology. So far loving this tractor, much more grunt than the 3320. This is my first deere with the turbo powertech engine after owning deere compacts with the yanmar engine. So far i am loving this tractor!!!!!!!

In spite of all the emissions crap the drive ability of the new engines is miles ahead of the engines of 20-30 years ago. The torque is quite amazing. It is just too bad things have gone overboard with emissions.JMHO

I agree. I prefer the DCR route over the cooled EGR that JD uses. Either way, the engines are leaps abd bounds better than they ever have been.
