How Much Oil Does a John Deere 4440 Take?
The John Deere 4440 takes 16 quarts / 15.1 litres of engine oil when changing the oil and filter.
Use John Deere Torq-Gard 15W-40, John Deere Plus-50 II 15W-40, or another quality diesel-rated 15W-40 oil suitable for older turbocharged diesel engines. In colder conditions, a suitable 10W-30 diesel engine oil may be used if it meets the correct diesel oil specification.
Fill slightly under the listed capacity first, run the engine, let it sit, then check the dipstick and top up to the full mark. Do not overfill the crankcase.

Common Mistakes
- Using petrol engine oil instead of diesel-rated oil
- Confusing engine oil capacity with transmission/hydraulic oil capacity
- Assuming the Quad-Range and Power Shift transmissions use the same oil amount
- Forgetting that PFWD models require extra transmission/hydraulic oil
- Skipping the engine oil filter during an oil change
- Overfilling the engine before checking the dipstick
- Using old or unknown coolant instead of properly servicing the cooling system
Summary
The John Deere 4440 takes 16 quarts / 15.1 litres of engine oil with filter. The best oil choice is John Deere Torq-Gard 15W-40, John Deere Plus-50 II 15W-40, or another quality diesel-rated 15W-40 engine oil. The 4440 uses a 466 ci / 7.6L turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine, holds about 36 quarts / 34 litres of coolant, and has a 65 gallon / 246 litre fuel tank. Transmission and hydraulic capacity depends on whether the tractor has Power Shift, Quad-Range, and whether it is fitted with PFWD.
