That's not what Deere has recommended in regard to multi-viscosity polymer-based oils in diesels - unless something has recently changed. Deere Co. told us not to use such oils e.g. Deere Torq-Guard 15W-40, Rotella 15W-40, etc. in the older generation diesels. I suspect that's why Deere is focusing more on their own brand of synthetic-based diesel oil e.g. Plus 50 that does not use polymers. It's more backwards and forward compatible as far as I can tell.
If you've found anything in print - from Deere that states otherwise - please lead me to it.
