A week ago I checked the oil level in my 3520. It was normal level but a little clear for 40 hours on the deere Dino oil. I changed the air filter on the same day. The following day I cut the grass which is a 1.25 hour task. Today I checked the oil level and it is above the max line. It is still clear for diesel oil.
History of this mower. Bought new in 2008. It currently has 420 hours. The oil is changed annually as the tractor is never used enough hours to warrant more frequent oil maintenance. I consistently use power service additive to the fuel. Started using a 72" drive over belly mower 3 years ago and typically cut the grass at 2200-2300 rpm. The mower works awesome and actually out cuts my old exmark 60" XS mower.
The question to this group is, why would this oil level increase? It is not dark or white, but is pretty clear considering it is in a diesel.
Thanks for any comments
