We got you 😉

It's a way for Deere to short-circuit the aftermarket filter replacement market and lock you into an expensive proprietary system you must buy from the dealer.

I think this "easy change" system is for people that don't normally change oil at all. It makes it very quick, clean and easy, to at least change the filter and part of the oil. If it's easy enough, more people will do it.

Thank you all! Yay $3500 CAD mower and I get to spend a day taking it to my local dealer 50 KM away to spend more on to convert to a more reliable system. Will be concerting ASAP. As a service tech when I first saw this I was very sceptical, glad their is a fix to go back to tried and true methods. The upright design makes debris removal seem unlikely in theory. 2003 L130 seemed simple and bullet proof. Wish I had saved my money and continued to maintain my old guy, my ego got me:(

Thank you for the video. I will say that it ain't quite as easy as the young lady makes it look, though.... Or, perhaps, I have lost a little strength in my grip at my ripe old age of 66. I love this system.

This "system" costs $45 as of 5/26/22. If you buy oil in five-quart jugs, it's about $8 per oil change (Two jugs = $40, enough for 5 oil changes). The oil filter's about $8. So the "Old Way" costs $16m versus $45 for the "Oil Change of the Future" way. Not to mention you're stuck with .8 quarts of oil inside a big slug of metal that the auto parts stores 'round here won't touch. Disappointing that the only guidance Deere gives is the "dispose of responsibly" boilerplate.

You will never convince me that leaving 75% of the dirty engine oil in the crank case, at oil change, is a good thing. One quart of premium oil in about $8.00. The easy change filter runs about $30 for 1/2 quart of fresh oil.

Looks easy here. It took me about 10 minutes to get mine off and then spent about 20 more minutes trying in vain to install the new filter - finally gave up because I didn't want to break the oil filter mount. Took the new filter back to the dealer and they said sometimes they stick so they gave me a replacement. Haven't installed that filter yet - will do so in the summer and hopefully all goes well. If I can install the new filter, I will leave it until it's time to replace it and that's it. I'll convert this idiotic system back to a regular oil filter system (there are videos here on KZread showing how to do it) plus my dealer sells the kit for 20 bucks but you only need a few parts anyway so you can source them yourself. The quick change system changes out about 0.4 liters of oil. With the conversion back to a regular oil filter you will be able to replace all of the oil plus I won't have to spend 70 bucks plus tax (Canada cost) for this "Hard Change" oil filter and deal with the frustration.

The customer see's a new huge oil filter and thinks they are winning until they bring it in for service and get billed $40+ for a filter that use to be $6-9.

Leave the wires off, then run the mower for about 2 hours and then plug the wires back in. That should fix the issue

As pointed out, this is replacing the minimal amount of oil that can be stored in the filter. If the filter were inverted and installed up into the oil filter housing instead of down into it the filter would hold much more oil. The way it is designed, the oil is draining out of the filter. That is unless there is some kind of seal preventing the oil from draining once the filter is removed. Such a seal would make me very wary about oil flow problems. Not a good system from John Deere and the implementation of this on the economy models makes me wonder about this company. Does John Deere use this system on any of their higher end or commercial mowers?

Great question! You do not need to drain the oil in the John Deere Easy Change™ 30-second oil change system. The Easy-Change oil filter replaces about 0.8 quarts (0.76 L) of oil with every change. The benefits of this system are that engines with this system run cooler, oil quantity in the system is increased by 40%, and the filter holds more contaminants than normal oil filters do, even when the engine is off, thus extending the life of the engine.

I would like to buy it

With all do respect. I don't see anything good about this setup. Yes it can be easy etc. But the filter costs $45--$50 and you are only changing out half of the oil by doing this. Those Briggs V Twin engines hold about 2 quarts of oil. Even though you're installing a new filter and .8 quarts of new oil when doing this. You still have 1 quart of old oil in the engine. Unless you drain out the remaining oil in the sump then add new oil to make up the difference. A lot of mower manufactures now days for example Toro. On the side of their Briggs engines says. * Never change the oil. Just check and add. That is a load of crap. There is no such thing as a lifetime oil. Oil gets contaminates in it and needs to be changed out regularly to prolong engine life. I think all of this is a marketing scheme to make people buy new mowers quicker. So the engines prematurely wear out do to not changing the oil. I work on mowers for a living and I can't believe some of the stuff these manufactures are coming up with.

Easy Change is a joke. I’m in the same boat as another comment below. I tried for over an hour, called Deere Customer Service, called a Deere dealer, not help. Thinking it was finally seated properly, I started it up and now I have a huge oil spill on the garage floor. I guess I’ll try a filter wrench. JOHN DEERE please reply.

Get the conversion kit back to the old way. I can't believe that JD would make such an idiotic way of changing oil when only a portion of the oil, only from the filter is what you are removing. The rest remains in there, dirty, slowly corrolding the engine. Sorry but this is a big FAIL.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! The John Deere Easy Change™ 30-Second Oil Change System replaces .8 quart of oil. The remaining oil in the engine is refreshed by the charge of new oil included in the replacement Easy Change system. Combined with 40% more engine oil capacity, improved filtration and cooler running temperatures which help extend oil life, it is no longer necessary to remove and dispose of all the oil in your engine during service.

@@JohnDeere unfortunately this design will ultimately be the death of John Deere. You don't change the formula that made for your success... Ah well not my problem 🙂

You are not changing the oil unless you take the sump plug out and drain it completely and since there is no extension pipe on the sump you pull the plug and oil goes all over the frame .not messy ,, I don't think so

.8 quartz never came out after the change. I dumped close to 2 quarts out of the block, and it took a full 2 quarts to bring the level back to normal after putting the new canister on, If u don't drain the oil from the drain plug you're leaving so much broken down black dirty oil in the system. I did this change for a customer today and the machine had 67 hrs on it. This system was made to just make more money from the consumer imo. Over priced filter and made to wear out the engine with lower hrs if u don't do the proper draining.

First take out a 2nd mortgage to pay for it

Talk about a marketing distraction, people.should know these low end engines don't even have pressurized oil systems, the filter just filters the oil in the sump ......mine is an older normal spin on style, I use a toyota 6 dollar toyota 90915yzzd3 filter and costco 5w30 ,oil is now unbelievably golden for the entire 5O hours betweem changes and all deposits are gone...now at 700 hours after 6 years ownership, don't forget changing the transaxle oil often is far more important on these designed to fail machines..

A horrible idea. I've been a tech for 40 plus years. So they don't recommend changing the oil. You do know there's a bunch of dirty oil left in it. I'm changing mine to a real system.

It's the 30 second oil change. Video is over 2 minutes. Unacceptable.

Don't buy this John Deere x147r Ride on mower. Unless you want to mow a level short lawn that doesn't get too long. Maybe a bowling green would be suitable. The grass shute constantly clogs up if you mow heavy green grass so you have put your arm in and pull it all out. You have no warning when it clogs and jams the blades while the motor keeps spinning the deck belt resulting in black smoke coming out that lets you know there's serious problem. If you're lucky the belt will jump off the pulleys. Putting the catcher back on is a frustrating procedure the makes you think it from a different model. The lock catch on the catcher releases very often dropping grass out the back. The whole catcher set up is flimsy and cheap. Not too mention frustrating. Not good around trees as the catcher handle sticks up way too high and hooks onto branches. 1 hr of use after buying this brand new mower it developed an unnerving clunking sound in the deck. I've always owned John Deere and have been a happy customer,but this model is poorly engineered and designed.

Don’t push too hard.

Don't buy

Yeah, what the voiceover didn't mention is that the new oil is *inside* the new filter. Which means the majority of the old oil remains *inside* the engine with this "oil change".

This is the dumbest idea ever John Deere. Nobody is dumb enough to fall for this money grab. The conversion kits are cheaper than the stupid "Easy" change oil filter and they come with oil and a normal filter as well. For the executives at JD that think this is helpful and not just a money grab, doubtful, don't you think people who mow their own grass can also change oil in a freakin lawn mower?

What a stupid system. How long do you think this engine will last for if the oil is never CHANGED. That is not an oil change.

50 hours in a car at 60 miles an hour is 3000 miles. Modern synthetics will go 10k easily with no issues. This filter changes about 1/3 of the oil every 50 hours, equivalent to 3000 miles.

Terrible system forcing us to pay $70 for an oil change that should cost $7. I spent the day retrofitting it back to a manual change.

People, if you don’t like the product don’t buy it. Suck the oil out using a pump, or convert it…Here is an idea, buy another brand. Want to make a company change their product? Change the demand for it.

WARNING - do not buy John Deere. Not only are you overpaying for this “convenience” but it doesn’t work. The old filters will not come off without significant force and due to the same flawed design, the new filters will not screw on for the same reason. Their customer service is awful, they will simply refer you to the local dealer (who is likely also awful) who will charge you $250+ to install the already overpriced filter (I paid $70) that has about $10 worth of oil and a $5 filter. What a racket and a stain on this company’s brand.

This seems like a good way to shorten the life expectancy of the engine. Gimmicky. Environmentally unfriendly.
