Our Class C is on the 2003 E450 chassis. I have changed the fluid twice myself in the driveway using this procedure. The maintenance schedule calls for fluid changes at 30,000 mile intervals. I went a bit over the interval the first two changes and have the fluid for the third change waiting for a decent day to do it again. Never dropped the pan and don't plan to do so this time either.
