The John Deere Original Equipment Maintenance Kit #LG268 bundles the essential filters and fluids for a single oil change and fuel system service on select John Deere lawn tractors. It’s designed for routine annual maintenance to keep the engine running clean and protected.
Fitment & Compatibility
This kit fits John Deere models with the 100 Series (D100–D170, S100–S170), X300 Series (X300, X304, X310), and X500 Series (X530, X534, X540). It is not for zero-turn mowers, older two-cylinder engines, or models with Kawasaki or Kohler engines unless they share the same filter specs.
Before buying:
- Engine type: The kit includes a Fram PH8172 oil filter and a Toro/John Deere air filter. Verify these match your engine’s oil filter thread (3/4-16) and air filter dimensions.
- Oil capacity: The included 48 oz. of SAE 10W-30 is enough for most 1-cylinder engines. If your tractor holds more (e.g., 64 oz.), you’ll need a second quart.
- Fuel filter: Only included for models with inline fuel filters. Check your fuel line diameter (5/16” or 3/8”) to confirm fit.
Key Things to Know
- Genuine John Deere parts – All components meet OEM specs, so no fitment surprises compared to generic kits.
- Easy DIY install – No special tools beyond basic wrenches and a filter wrench. Expect 30–45 minutes total for the full service.
- Oil choice is pre-selected – The 10W-30 is fine for most climates, but if you run in extreme heat or cold, you may want a different viscosity (not included).
- Air filter is pre-oiled – The foam pre-cleaner comes lightly oiled. Don’t over-oil or squeeze it dry—just install as-is.
Should You Buy It
If you own a compatible John Deere lawn tractor and want a no-guesswork, one-box solution for annual maintenance, this kit is a solid value. It’s ideal for DIYers who prefer OEM parts and don’t want to hunt down individual filters and oil. Skip it if you need a different oil weight, have a non-John Deere engine, or prefer aftermarket filters to save a few dollars.
