I have used a dealer when the MH was going in for some other service. I have also used Ford truck service centers when available. My favorite was Bass Ford in Avon, OH. They were great to work with. They even serviced my Workhorse chassis on a previous MH. The most difficult I have found is in remote areas, including areas of Canada. They don't seem to know what to do with a 39' MH.

I go to local MB dealer for any chassis issues including oil change. They are a sprinter service center also. They have very good and have no issues with them at all.

The answer to that problem is the Fumoto valve, What a difference that makes!
That, and using a gallon-size ziplock bag for filter removal leads to a very clean and easy job. Definitely less than two beers, but certainly more than one.

WalMart has the proper MotorCraft oil filter and an excellent selection of oil, including the recommended MotorCraft brand synthetic blend. One stop.

My engine is Cummins, that's where I go. Prior units have been other motor builders and i took those units to those service facilities. I take my Buick to Buick dealer. Nuf said.

I go to my backyard. If you can change the oil on a car or truck you can change the MH. It's not difficult.... I try to do as much work as I can myself to save $100s. I'm just a backyard, YouTube mechanic...
