Maxxforce 7 Oil Change

I have a Thor Serrano with a Maxxforce 7 engine. Anyone ever change the oil yourself--are there instructions posted online?

I've seen the oil I need for sale at Wal-Mart in a 5-gallon container, and figure I'll need to order the filter on-line.

Any advice?

Thanks!

  • No mistype there. Five gallon containers at Wal-Mart. Costs just under $70. I've searched like crazy on the Internet, but only find those websites that say a manual is free, but they want my credit card for "verification".
  • I'll bet those 5 gallon containers are fun to pour!

    I think you mean 5 qt. I like those since they are easier than quarts - just one to open and drain. I have a custom made funnel that holds it. Just dump and watch. Individual quarts have to be handled and wait for each to empty.

    I keep a one quart bottle for small jobs, OPE, etc.
  • I bought oil in bulk once. Never again.

    I only buy it in quarts new as pouring it is difficult due to the location of my oil fill tube.

    I buy all my oil filters at the Chevrolet dealer.
