Time for an engine oil change - 50ish hours - 2025R John Deere Compact Tractor Gen 2

This is a real hands-on first-oil-change walkthrough on a 2025R at just under 60 hours, done by the actual owner. It covers draining via the side fill port, breaking loose the painted/sealed drain bolt, swapping the filter (part M806418), refilling with 0W-40 synthetic (John Deere TY2664), and a post-change test drive and dipstick check. Good for new 2025R owners wanting a real-time DIY reference for their first service.
