Mixture Ratio for Your John Deere XT140

Mixture Ratio for Your John Deere XT140

John Deere has generated 18 distinct versions of series trimmers armed with two-cycle gasoline engines, including the XT140. All of them run on a mixture of gasoline and two-cycle motor oil. The recommended ratio of gas to oil depends on if you are using John Deere-branded oil or a different oil brand.

Gas-Oil Mix

When using a John-Deere-brand two-cycle oil, the organization recommends a 50-to-1 proportion of gasoline to oil in most of its two-cycle trimmer versions, including the XT140. That is equivalent to 2.6 fluid ounces of John Deere-brand oil mixed in 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline. The business recommends a 32-to-1 ratio when using other two-cycle oil brands, which is equivalent to 4 fluid oz of oil to 1 gallon of unleaded gas.
