oil change

Hello, Thanks to some help from some knowledgeable people on here in a previous thread. I was able to sort out an engine light (MIL) on dash and Engine Warn on my instrument panel. I have the statement near my odometer that says to "Change Engine Oil" which I am in the process of actually...

Hey all, I have a new (to me) sequence 20l with a onan generator. I cannot seem to track down any videos or information on changing the onan generator oil FILTER. Everyone seems to just change the oil (only). Does anyone have any experience or information on changing the oil + filter...

We purchased a 2024 Thor Aria 3401 at the end of February. It's about time for the generator break-in oil change. However, there is a piece of angle iron that is bolted in place preventing anyone from opening the cover on the generator that provides access to the oil filter. So far, dealer and...

Jackie and I give high marks to the Ford Transit chassis of our Compass and hope that it gives us many years and miles of great travels. In online reviews, the EcoBoost engine in the Transit generally receives very good ratings. Its “cam phasers,” which change the valve timing, and the twin...

Hello Friends! We recently changed our Onan Generator break in oil (after 25 miles), and my husband put in 10 W 30 synthetic motor oil. Generator now seems to get to hot and will turn off. Not sure why other than it's a synthetic oil. Manual does not say what weight oil to replace...

I'm going to do my 1st oil/fuel change in my new to me 2020 Ram 3500 Cummins 6.7 HO. Does anyone have a recommendation on filters? I'm not picky, I'm willing to go OEM or aftermarket. I see a set of OEM Mopar for a $110, and others for as low as $35 (same kit, both oil and fuel). With many...

Just did the 20 hour oil change for a QG 5500 Onan Generator in our 2022 Jayco Precept 31UL Class A Motorhome. Made a video. Maybe it will help others. https://youtu.be/RF8ALKl707Q

So I recently purchased this bus. I'm wanting to work on the engine, first by changing all of the fluids. I was going to start with oil but got confused, do I have two oil filters on my bus? And why are they SO far apart? In the videos I've watched they usually sit next to each other. Is there...

Hi looking for diagrams or instructions on changing oil on my generator. That thing looks tucked away pretty good. Helpful hints? Suggestions? Thanks!

Hello New member here, could anyone tell me when the first maintenance is due on a Tiburon motor home. We are in the process of buying one that has 10k miles on it. The seller who has been great said the first one isn't due until 20K miles. That maybe the case but I cant seem to find a...

Wanted to get some opinions on doing oil changes between the 20k A&B services recommended by Mercedes. (I have 25k miles after 28 months with the first oil change at 18k miles) I have no data but it "feels" like 20,000 is a long time between oil changes. Heat, moisture, etc. would seem to take...

Helpful Friends- I have a 2004 Bluebird FE with a Cat3126 "manufactured to 2003 standards." Bus runs great and has no visible problems. I spoke directly with the School District mechanic before we purchased and was at peace with historical maintenance. I do not have a manual specific for this...

I need to change oil in Onan 4000 generator and research indicates manufacturer's (Cummins) replacement is very expensive but that some people have used SAE 30. Looking for free advice here -- what do y'all think? $25 and up for Cummins or much less for the SAE 30? Who has done what...

If anyone is looking for help on how to change their own oil here is a short video I made to try to help out. https://youtu.be/bPW3B-D6yac

Just wondering about consensus on oil change frequency for a 32ft Greyhawk, E450 after the initial 3000 miles. I’ve read every 3000, 5000, and 7500 - haha. I’ve been doing every 5000 and doing mostly highway driving. Any thoughts?

Our newly acquired SMB, a 2012 Ford 4x4 E350, has a gas generator. I was reading in the manual that the oil should be changed every 8 hr of use. I watched a YouTube video and thought, No problem. But, the generator is fit really tight against the Aluminess bumper. I can barely access the oil cap...

We're new to RV'ing. We have a Thor 30FE (Class C 30'). I take my cars to Valvoline for oil changes but where do you take an RV?

As most of you know, to access the chassis battery on Vegas/Axis rigs you have to remove the workstation cover and cut away the plywood piece. This also provides better access to the oil fill port for those of us that can't pump oil. So I found the following wonderful Home Depot spring access...

Hi All! I searched the forums for "generator oil change" and didn't get any how to threads. I've been dry camping for 10 days and when I get home I want to change the oil in my generator. I could really use a step by step article or video. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Bill...
