John Deere Turf-Gard SAE 10W-30 Oil Quarts - TY22029 (Qty of 12)

What It Is

This is a 12-quart case of John Deere Turf-Gard SAE 10W-30 oil (OEM part TY22029), a mineral-based engine oil formulated specifically for air-cooled lawn mower engines. It’s designed for use in John Deere riding mowers, zero-turn mowers, and walk-behind mowers, providing wear protection and thermal stability under heavy-duty cutting conditions.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil viscosity and API service classification. Turf-Gard 10W-30 is compatible with most John Deere engines (Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, Kohler) that require SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30 weight oil in moderate temperatures (above 32°F). It is not for diesel engines or hydraulic systems. Confirm your mower’s oil capacity (typically 1.5–2 quarts per change) to avoid over- or under-ordering. This is a genuine John Deere part, so no cross-referencing needed for JD machines.

Key Things to Know

• High-quality mineral oil: Contains anti-wear additives and detergents to reduce sludge in air-cooled engines. Not synthetic, but meets OEM specs for most JD mowers.
• Easy to install: Standard pour-and-fill—no special tools. Just check oil level on dipstick after filling.
• Common gotcha: Overfilling can cause engine damage. Use the exact capacity listed in your manual, not the quart count.
• Storage: Keep sealed quarts in a cool, dry place. Oil degrades over time, so don’t stockpile more than 2–3 years’ worth.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid choice if you own a John Deere mower and want to stick with OEM-recommended oil for warranty compliance and reliable performance. The 12-quart case makes sense for multiple mowers or seasonal changes, but if you only need one change, a single quart or a cheaper SAE 30 oil will work. For high-hour commercial use, consider a synthetic 10W-30 instead.
