John Deere Original Equipment Oil Change Kit Filter and Oil - (1) M806418 + (1) Gallon 15W-40

What It Is

This is a complete oil change kit for John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers, containing one M806418 oil filter and one gallon of 15W-40 engine oil. It’s designed for routine maintenance to keep your engine running clean and cool.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine uses the M806418 filter—this fits many John Deere models with 1-cylinder or V-twin engines, including 100, X300, X500, Z500, and Z700 series. Check your owner’s manual for “M806418” or measure the filter diameter (approx. 3.5 inches) and thread size (3/4-16). This kit is OEM John Deere, not aftermarket, so it’s a direct swap for factory filters. The 15W-40 oil is suitable for gasoline engines in moderate to warm climates; if you mow in cold weather (below 32°F), consider 10W-30 instead. Not for push mowers or older models requiring SAE 30.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM filter has a bypass valve and anti-drain back design, matching engine specs. Aftermarket filters may lack these features.
• Installation: Easy DIY job—drain old oil, replace filter (hand-tighten 3/4 turn after gasket contact), refill with 1 gallon (check your engine’s capacity; some need slightly less).
• Gotcha: The kit includes one gallon, but some V-twin engines require 1.5 quarts—you might need extra oil. Measure your engine’s capacity first.
• Storage: Unused oil can be stored sealed for up to 5 years; keep in a cool, dry place.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible John Deere lawn tractor and want a hassle-free, guaranteed-fit oil change with OEM quality, this kit is a solid buy. It’s ideal for DIYers who value convenience and don’t want to hunt for separate filter and oil. Skip it if you need a different viscosity or have an older model not listed.
