Do it yourself Oil Change on Newmar class a gas motorhome

I like doing small amounts of service work. Is there any reason I should not change to oil and filter on my motorhome??????

  • It is a 2021 Newmar Baystar 3626. I crawled under it yesterday and all of a sudden I thought I don't know if I can do this. I can get to the filter ok and like Dave said I will have to cut a milk jug and divert the oil but I have not found the oil fill yet. Do I have to take the cover off inside???

    Thanks,

  • If you change your own oil on your cars and trucks, there’s nothing really different or more difficult about doing so on a gas motorhome. In some ways it’s easier because of the high clearance. The only oddity about my last F53 motorhome was the drain plug being right above the front axle. I cut a milk jug to act as a diverter for draining the oil. But the oil changes weren’t difficult, and it’s always good to get under there and look around.
