Oil Change!

Posted on August 16, 2021August 16, 2021 by Jim Mellema

I’ve been terribly remiss in this basic maintenance. Our Entegra’s last oil change was in October of 2018 at 21,800 miles!
Thanks to covid, and a lot of sitting and hardly any travelling, I “just didn’t get there.”
Last week I finally did. Aug of 2021, at 38,000 miles. (should have been 1 year/15,000 miles. At least I’m close on the mileage.)

I went to Speedco , same as last time.
No changes at all since Speedco was bought out by Loves.
YES, they still do RV’s!
I pulled in backwards (unlike trucks, my engine is in the rear)
Went inside, they told me middle lane after the truck that’s in there leaves. After about 20 minutes, the truck rolled out and they guided me in.
As I’d been there before, the computer knew exactly what I needed. They carry genuine Cummins Fleetgard filters, and had my oil filter and 2 fuel filters in stock.
Someone in “The Pit” got started doing a full chassis lube and draining the oil, while someone up top removed the old fuel filters, prefilled the new ones, and installed them.
After a while the guy underneath called for the new oil filter, guy topside put in 30 quarts of Rotella.
I went inside and paid them $439, this is up a hundred from 2018. They did a great job, and did it immediately.
I went across the street to Flying J, lucked in an open lane, got half a tank of fuel in record time.
Home to home about 4 1/2 hours, including travel time. We’re ready for our next trip. Leaving on the 23rd.
