This is a factory-specified oil change kit for John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. It includes one M806419 spin-on oil filter and one gallon of 15W-40 diesel-grade engine oil, designed for routine maintenance to extend engine life.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify your machine uses the M806419 filter—common on Deere models with Yanmar, Kawasaki, or Briggs & Stratton engines like the X300, X500, and Z500 series. Check your owner’s manual or existing filter part number. The oil is 15W-40, not 10W-30; if your engine calls for 10W-30 (e.g., some 100-series tractors), this kit won’t match. Measure your oil capacity: one gallon is enough for most single-cylinder engines (1.5-2 quarts), but twin-cylinder models may need a second quart. The filter thread size is 3/4-16, common on many small engines, but confirm clearance for the filter wrench.
Key Things to Know
- OEM quality: Genuine John Deere filter has a silicone anti-drainback valve and high-efficiency media; aftermarket filters may lack this, risking dry starts.
- Oil type: 15W-40 is a heavy-duty diesel oil with extra zinc for flat-tappet camshafts—ideal for air-cooled engines, but not for engines requiring synthetic 5W-30.
- Installation difficulty: Easy (15-20 minutes) if you have a drain pan, socket wrench, and filter wrench. Don’t overtighten the filter—hand-tight plus 1/4 turn is sufficient.
- Common gotcha: The kit includes only one filter; some twin-cylinder Deeres (e.g., X738) require two filters. Always check your model’s filter count before ordering.
Should You Buy It
If you own a John Deere lawn tractor or zero-turn that uses the M806419 filter and 15W-40 oil, this kit is a convenient, time-saving buy. It’s right for owners who want genuine Deere parts without hunting down separate items. Skip it if your engine needs a different viscosity or filter number—aftermarket oil is cheaper, but the filter’s quality is worth the premium for peace of mind.
