The process of oil and filter change in a class C RV

Nice thanks for doing this!

My 22 F350 7.3 owners manual says the oil must meet WSS-M2C961-A1 standards, I couldn’t find a synthetic that meets that standard, only synthetic blend, which is what it says in the manual, had a power stroke previously and I saw a Ford video about increased wear when not using the standard they recommended, I think I’ll try that Kirkland on my car though, that’ll save some money

Warren oils produces motorcraft, Kirkland, Amazon, super tech etc. basically all the oem brands so it’s fine. Use synthetic blend or better is what that spec means.

My 2021 F-350 7.3 takes 8 quarts exactly. Personally I never 👎 follow oil like monitors I change at 5K intervals no more. Oil changes are cheap insurance!

[@hientruong4074]

You’re right, the oil monitor is for 10k intervals, I change mines at 50% which is 5k miles

my vegas has no room for acess. have you tried a oil change suchsion pump? great video, thanks.

[@gwojda1]

I do own an oil suction pump that I use on my Jaguar, but since access to the underbelly of this RV is so easy, my preference is always to drain from the bottom in case of any heavier impurities or sludge. Also, I often let the oil drain for at least 30 min to ensure that I get as much of the old stuff out as possible. Good luck!

1st oil change should be at 1500 miles. Break in oil…

What is average MPG for you RV?

[@gwojda1]

Hi, my average log over 19k miles sits at 8.6mpg. I usually travel loaded with people and equipment plus a motorcycle on the back hitch, but it doesn’t get that much better even if traveling light. Also, I tend to cruise around 70-75mph, so not the most economical way. If going slower and without too much headwind, I could get it to 11mpg, but that’s really babying it and not exceeding 60mph. Possible on rural roads with light traffic and few traffic lights or stop signs.
