This past weekend, at 148 hours, I changed the oil and filter in my John Deere 355D. I switched to synthetic, using Mobil One Delvac. I also lubed three placed on the mower deck, the front axles and the rear wheels on the deck. I also cleaned out the pre-filter before the air filter. It was not that dirty.

It should be noted that the oil was changed after the first 5 hours on the motor, using John Deere supplied motor oil. The oil I just changed was in there for 143 hours, which is 43 hours more than John Deere recommends. I need to do a better job on the changes.
