Missed one key operation. Partially fill the oil filter prior to installation.. Dry filters need to absorb lubricant before they flow. This can cause aeration and or starvation. Prolong your engine life, always fill the filter prior to installation. For a horizontal installation, fill halfway to avoid spillage. Need confirmation - fill a dry filter to the anti drain back flap. Slowly turn the filter while slightly tilting towards horizontal. Within seconds, the oil will disappear as it is absorbed into the filter media.
The only time ive ever filled a filter is one for a big desiel engine since it akes about a quart. Other than that the engine fills them up so fast it doesnt matter and doesnt hurt the engine.
The reason to do this is as stated. The reason not to do it is that you don't want to risk getting a piece of the foil cover from the oil down into the filter. On my PU with a cummins engine, Cummins specifically says not to prefill the filter to avoid getting part of the oil container seal into the engine where it would cause damage. So you get to choose which risk you want to take.
The one thing that I was looking for is the location of the oil cap for the 5203. Unfortunately, when it got to that step, it was a side view instead of a head on view so I still don't know exactly where it is!
Karee, thanks for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. We would recommend taking a look through your 5203 Utility Tractor Operator's Manual. Many Operator's Manuals are available online, so you may be able to view the manual for your model at techpubs.deere.com. You can also contact your local dealer for further assistance. Find their contact information at Deere.com/Dealer. We hope this helps.
I would like to know how he got all the oil out of that used filter so it wouldn't run down the side and mess all over the floor. I usually need a pan under there.
Is it okay to use shell rotella in these engines? They make a 5w-40 synthetic that I have used for years in my simplicity diesel. Just bought a new 1023 today to replace it.

+I agree, he used it backwards and WHEN YOU CHANGE OIL : 1). the tractor should be Hot, operating temp; 2). drain plug should be left off a longer period of time to let more of the upper gallery oil to drain down; 3). where oil resistant gloves; 4). put an oil catch pan under the filter when removing it; 5). wipe out as much old oil as possible from the oil filter mounting plate and 6). see Scott T suggestion and 7). be more specific on the tightness of the filter. Hand tight only, turn to contact and them 1 more revolution, is the general rule we have used for can filters!...If we used your HINTS..." None of our Deeres would run very long"
I gotta ask. One full revolution on the oil filter after hand tighten? I'm might have to call Arnold Schwarzenegger to give me a hand. I'd admit, I've never replaced an oil filter on a JD. You mean a 1/4" of a turn maybe???

Nonsense. Other than a few diehards, nobody prefills their oil filter and it doesn't cause any issues.

I have always done that. The engine oil light takes a little bit to go off if you don't. Not worth the risk damaging the engine in my opinion.

Oil cap on the 3032e is on the driver side under the exhaust canister

That looked like a brand new filter he took off. I watched it 3 or 4 times.
Hit a punch threw the end before you take it off.

Deere will push you to use there oil. Retells T6 is great oil, I run it in everything.
good
Now I have to just figure out where on the tractor the drain plug and the oil filter are.

Not one video on changing oil on a 3046r
Someone should teach the guy how to use the oil wrench properly!
