JOHN DEERE 4044M OIL CHANGE

This is a real-time, first-person walkthrough of an owner doing their own first oil change on a 4044M, not a dealer demo. It covers raising the loader for access, removing the hood panel, draining oil, swapping the filter, and refilling to the 5.4-quart spec while checking the dipstick and watching for leaks. Useful for owners planning their own DIY oil change and wanting a real reference point on quantity and access.

Posted by an owner-operator documenting their own first-time maintenance on their tractor, not a dealer or professional mechanic.
