JCB 540-170 service
What each system holds and when JCB says to change it, with genuine filters and oils. The oil grade for your build is in its operator's manual.

Fluid: JCB Engine Oil EP 15W-40 (rated -10 °C to +50 °C) (JCB Loadall (side engine, Tier 3) Operator Manual 9821/0300-3, dealer copy)
JCB halves the change to 250 hours for arduous work or 20% biodiesel, and asks for an oil flush at each change then.
The Dieselmax sits in a side pod beside the boom, behind a lift-up bonnet; check the dipstick daily, because a Gulf shift of heat and dust ages the oil fastest.
Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
