Why Engine Oil Capacity Matters

The engine oil in a tractor or any heavy equipment serves multiple functions:

  • Lubrication: Reduces friction between moving parts.
  • Cooling: Helps dissipate heat generated during operation.
  • Cleaning: Prevents sludge buildup by carrying away dirt and contaminants.
  • Corrosion Protection: Prevents rust and corrosion of engine components.

Using the wrong oil capacity can lead to poor engine performance, overheating, increased wear and tear, and even engine failure.

How to Choose Right Engine Oil for New Holland

1. Check Your Owner’s Manual

Every New Holland tractor or machine has a manufacturer-recommended oil type and capacity. check the table above for reference.

2. Consider the Climate

  • Cold Climates: Use a 10W-30 oil for better cold-start performance.
  • Hot Climates: 15W-40 oil is preferable for high-temperature conditions.
