- Engine oil keeps your engine running smoothly and prevents the engine from overheating while you are operating your tractor. It protects all the components of your engine, keeping them from rubbing together, which can cause breakage or extreme wear. Always keep your engine oil tank full, but do not overfill the tank. Check your oil before each use.
