- jdc1Explorer IIHow much oil? I buy mine by the case at Costco....saves 50% over most other places...... Then I order filters from Amazon or WalMart.
- DrewEExplorer IIIIIRC it's about six or so quarts; if you get two five-quart jugs, you'll have plenty and some left for the next oil change. There should be a Ford owner's manual for the chassis with the motorhome that has details such as that.
- Beverley_KenExplorerJust confirm which chassis you have. Most Ford c-class MHs were built on the E-450 cutaway chassis with the 6.8L V10. (not the F450).
Here is some info for the 6.8 V10.
