New Engines New engines DO NOT require a running-in period. The engine/machine should be used in a normal work cycle immediately. DO NOT use a special running-in oil but use the oil recommended below from new.
Engine Oil Specification Recommended Oil JCB Extreme Performance Engine Oil SAE 15W/40 API CH-4 or ACEA E3/B3A3 IMPORTANT NOTE: IF SAE 15W/40, API CH-4 OR ACEA E3/B3A3 ENGINE OIL IS NOT AVAILABLE, THEN THE ENGINE OIL MUST BE CHANGED AT 250 HOURS. Alternative Oil If the oil recommended above is not available then the alternatives listed below should be used according to the ambient temperature. Note: (2140 and 3185 machines only). While 15W/40 oil is recommended for most climates, limited use of low viscosity oils such as 10W/30 is permitted to provide easier starting and sufficient oil flow at ambient temperatures below -5 °C (23 °F). Continued use of low viscosity oils can decrease engine life. JCB Super Multigrade 15W/40 SAE15W/40, API CF4/SG -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) JCB Super Multigrade 10W/30 SAE10W/30, API CF4/SG † -15 °C to 40 °C (5 °F to 104 °F) † The temperature range for 2140 and 3185 machines is - 20 °C to 20 °C (-4 °C to 68 °F).
