I agree. When you consider a gasser should be changed every 5k that is 3 oil changes to one diesel. We budgeted for new tires when we purchased it as we new the original 2012 tires were not gonna cut it. It costs me around $200 to $250 for oil change at 28 quarts and new fuel filters. I do the work myself.
No dog in the hunt, but trying to comprehend the math.
1 oil change every 15K miles @ $200 - $250 done yourself.
3 oil changes every 5K miles @ $38 (6 qts full syn and filter)= $114 done yourself.
Seems to be an $86 to $136 difference?
WHO CARES . . . If you can't afford the diesel get a gasser. A $86 to $136 difference is not gonna break the bank. If it does you can't afford the rv.
EVIDENTLY SOMEONE DOES! Doh! . . . I agree about the money aspect and affording something. Hmmmmm . . . join a forum, point out something that makes no sense, and get blasted at in caps by a member with 2000+ posts and 13 years in. No big deal I wear big boy pants. Have a wonderful evening.
