How to remove John Deere Quick Change oil filter for ever.

[@PhillipDrumz]

What are your thoughts on - if I keep the oil filter easy change - but use a siphon to remove the old oil from oil check port each time I do oil change ? And then add equivalent 1.2 qrts with a new .8 qrt easy oil filter

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

My opinion, you will not get all of the oil out and you are still paying $50 plus for the easy change oil filter plus extra oil. I made another video using the John Deere parts and it should be easier to change over. Check this video out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6vKpItpfq2Ve8k.

[@tomthomas4444]

Can't believe J. D. Pull a piece crapp like that on these mowers. I guess it's their way of generating engine trouble down the road for customers thus increasing engine and parts sells. Think I will look at different brand of mowers. Great video a true craftsman.

[@ngrrailway]

A very well done and well presented instructional video! I just ordered the parts which basically came out to the cost of one of the 30 second oil change filters. (Oil not included). I have an E120 JD and I’ve always been a bit skeptical of their fast and easy oil change system. Once you see how much old oil that is left in the crankcase, this change-out is a no brainer! Thank you!

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Thank you and thank you for the kind words . I’m sure your engine will thank you in the long run!!

Very informative, I played back several times to install my kit. By the way that plastic cover on the new drain plug can pull right off, there is an oring in there. Then use a tall 15/16 socket . I purchased the whole kit from Amazon which also included a filter. Thanks for great info.

[@watermanone7567]

Very nice job. I add a small extension pipe to the quick oil change device to get it further out just past the frame. Makes it easier on some engines, especially the Kohler's. Thanks

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Thank you. Yes, you could do that.

[@Hubjeep]

Yup, stick extractor hose down dipstick tube!

[@chadfield376]

Very well done video! I have this exact mower, fixing to give it its first oil change and bought the needed items to do this change over; only difference I may do is on the drain plug side is see if I can find a brass hose barb fitting and stick a rubber hose and plug set up. Again great instructional video!

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Hi Chad, I’m glad this was helpful and thanks for the kind comment. I hope your able to get the hose. I have seen that set up before.

[@bradbarefoot2986]

I'm going to change mine as well, the threaded "nipple" from John Deere parts actually has an "allen" head to tighten it with. I also cheat on the oil changes, spent the $30 for a oil extractor from Agri-Supply .. no oil messes, pulls the oil out of the dip stick hole.

[@happyhome41]

Big brain at work here. Well done. The "plastic piece" at 05:48 is a *keeper*. Good camera work, and efficient editing and labels. Love the intro iterating the parts and tools. On the replacement oil filter nipple, I could have sworn there is a version that has a 12mm hex internal form.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Hi Brian, Im glad you liked the video and hope it was helpful to you! I think you are correct about the internal hex and I just tried to look up on the John Deere web site and did not find anything but the nipple that I use in this video. If you come across the one you are talking about please send me a part number and I’ll try and put in in the description of this video.

[@happyhome41]

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines The filter nipple is Deere MIU13767. This is *much* easier with its internal 12mm hex, than the internal pipe wrench with which you were messing.

[@stevelee4213]

Superb!!! Debunking the engineering deficiency and incompetence, and the commercial greed of John Deere.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Thank you! Well said!

[@789295]

Nice video. It is nice to also add a short pipe nipple to the new drain plug and let it stick out of a hole in the side shield. The square headed pipe plug hole is just NPT standard pipe threads. Then you don't have to remove the shield any longer to change the oil and it will run easily into a drain pan.

[@stuartashworth1866]

I like the quick change filter. No problem and oil looks clean. You might have to add an oz or two after every other oil change but other than that I'm happy with it. Been using it for about 8 years now or whenever they camd out with it.

[@stuartashworth1866]

30-50 hrs and oil is just a dark amber ready to be changed. so easy

[@rmcdaniel423]

1:44 "internal wrench" set to install the nipple into the engine. . . I just watched another video demonstrating this same conversion, and he used a 12mm hex, if I remember correctly. Although to be specific, he used John Deer Part # MIU13767 for that nipple, so it's possible that the internal hex is slightly different.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Yes, I need to make another video using the John Deere kit that I have in the description below. The kit comes with the hex adapter.

[@embodiedconducting]

Excellent video! The presence of this "improved" oil filter is enough for me to probably give these new John Deere lawn tractors a pass. What genius came up with this "improvement?"After you finish the conversion, do you add oil through the dipstick hole? One more quick point--the Briggs & Stratton "normal" oil filter screws in where you romoved the "improved" filter and hardware, right?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Correct on both. Use the John Deere conversion kit. I put it in the description. It is easier to install and you do not need special tool to install the nipple adapter.

[@Hubjeep]

Wow, that's crazy JD came up with that expensive system that leaves so much old oil in the engine! I use a fluid extractor to change oil on my mower. With the oil nice and hot any contaminants are in suspension and the oil evacuates quickly.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Nice!

[@herbb8547]

It is very important to replace all the oil and the oil filter no matter how you do it. Changing only part of the oil is like only cleaning part of a dirty dish. Would you want a dishwasher that that leaves over half of the food and grime on your dishes? Gross! Partially clean is still dirty.

[@MarionJInce]

Is the process the same for the JD 170? Thanks, nice explanation. I saw down below where you give the oil filter info for the 170; is the oil drain plug the same as you used?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

If it is a Briggs engine it should work. Watch my newest updated video using the John Deere kit in the description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6vKpItpfq2Ve8k

[@70speedball]

Stephen Williams Well this is good to know, I just bought an S130 and I am wondering if this works on the S130. I am a strong believer in changing all the oil, after looking at the video i see that changing the oil completely is going to be a neat trick.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

I do believe it will work with your engine. You may want to call John Deere. I think they also my have all parts needed to change it over or you can do it my way.

[@tonym6920]

By removing the filter, does that void the warranty on the engine? Thanks for the vid! 👍👍. Is there any way to use a fluid extractor to get the oil out...just a thought. Not crazy about that quick drain device.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

That is a very good question. I would check with John Deere for that info.

[@ricklavoie3703]

To my knowledge if you use John Deere parts which are available to complete that task , it will not void your warranty

[@GenkiBlast]

I'm looking at getting a new riding mower. After watching this would it be a better buy If I got a cub cadet instead?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

You can purchase the John Deere without the quick change oil filter. My opinion is the John Deere are still made by John Deere and if you can afford a X300 series? They will last a long time. Cub Cadet was purchased from MTD many years ago and the quality has suffered since. Cub Cadet tractors produced today are getting better but I still prefer John Deere. That is just my opinion.

[@johnm2482]

Would running a tube with a small drill pump down the dipstick tube be able to get most of the oil out?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

All part numbers are there for you. You can easily find them most likely locally or order online.

[@sectorspdr1257]

What is your website?

[@happyhome41]

I just performed this conversion. I recommend using the Deere parts. The nipple replacement for the filter with the Deere part number has a 12mm hex form making that installation much easier than shown in the video. Also, the quick release drain extension with the Deere part number puts the hex head out near the end, allowing the use of a 24mm standard socket and easy installation. Also, running the engine first, makes any oil change much easier, as the oil is thin, and doesn't take near as long to drain (same goes for bottling honey, by the way).

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

I agree about using the John Deere parts. I did this video before I new about the parts from John Deere. I always run the machines before performing any oil change. NOT when filming a video as shown. Thanks for watching!

[@jp-us9rq]

The part u put on for the oil filtet to screw on looks different from the one I bought mine had a hex shape on one side and the other side that goes in the mower is just round

You most likely purchased the John Deere kit that I now recommend. You have the easier adapter to install. Here is my newer updated video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6vKpItpfq2Ve8k and in the description has tools required.

[@joshsamford3575]

Does this void the warranty? I’m going to be buying an S170 soon and I want to do this.

That question can only be answered by a John Deere dealership. Let me know and we can post it here for other people to see.

[@detail2018]

Thanks for the video. Could you just leave the quick change filter intact but add the oil drain and drain the residual oil maybe every other time?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Yes, but when changing the oil you should always change the oil filter or your just putting fresh oil into and through a dirty oil filter so it may just cost more in the long run but yes to answer your question.

It can't be good for the engine to have that old oil in it for so long. John Deere is just banking on people's laziness and ignorance to have something like this on their equipment.

I think JD saw that most people ignore the recommended oil change intervals, so they came up with the "quick and easy" filter change so even lazy people would at least change a portion of the oil and the oversized filter, would help clean the oil. After seeing how much oil is left, I'm going to go back to the traditional oil change method with synthetic oil. I wonder if we can get an oversized oil filter for it, like the easy change filter. (that size). The easy change JD filter is super fast and easy to change, but I'm not going to risk a large investment with old oil. My engine only has 40 hrs on it and the oil is still clean (after 2 quick change filters), so I hope I caught it in time, to save the engine from unnecessary wear.

I think this is one of JD's dumbest ideas. Super expensive. Not changing the oil. A huge waste of unnecessary parts that are not recyclable. Why? just why?
