For homeowners seeking a reliable and easy-to-maintain lawn tractor, the John Deere S170 stands out with its innovative features, most notably the John Deere Easy Change 30-second oil change system. This groundbreaking system transforms routine maintenance, making it quicker, cleaner, and simpler than ever before. Forget messy oil drains and complicated procedures – with the Easy Change system, maintaining your John Deere S170 is a breeze.
The magic of the Easy Change system lies in its unique oil-filled filter. Instead of draining old oil, you simply twist off the old filter and twist on a new one. This innovative filter acts as an additional oil reservoir, and replacing it effectively removes captured contaminants while replenishing approximately 0.8 quarts (0.76 liters) of fresh engine oil. This eliminates the need to drain oil from the engine entirely, significantly reducing mess and time.

- Enhanced Oil Volume: The Easy Change system boasts 40 percent more oil volume, contributing to cooler engine and oil temperatures for improved performance and durability.

- Environmentally Conscious: By reducing the need to dispose of all engine oil at each service interval, the Easy Change system significantly decreases waste oil production, contributing to a more sustainable approach to lawn care.
