I generally use Rotella T 15w40 in all my John Deeres. I did use JD Plus 50 oil in my last change in my 6400 just because I didn't want to make a separate trip for oil. The Rotella should be cheaper if for no other reason than you can get it at Walmart but I don't think the JD oil is too much more expensive. Go by the manual on what they suggest on oil viscosity but 15w40 should be fine for anyone during summer.
