Say Yes to John Deere Plus-50 II and Torq-Gard Engine Oils.

When it comes to maintaining the powerful and precise performance of your earthmoving equipment, using the right engine oil is critical. Earthmoving machines operate under extreme conditions handling heavy loads, enduring high engine temperatures, and working in dusty and rugged environments.

John Deere Plus-50 II and Torq-Gard engine oils are specifically engineered to:

  • extend engine life,
  • improve efficiency, and
  • reduce maintenance costs.

 

These oils are designed to work seamlessly with John Deere advanced machinery, outperforming conventional oils in protection, performance, and longevity.

The Science Behind John Deere Plus-50 II

Deere Plus-50 II is a premium synthetic-blend engine oil developed for heavy-duty diesel engines in John Deere earthmoving, where engine reliability is critical.

Key Features of Plus-50 II:
