Oil change + replace battery, which comes first ?
Hello Everyone…
I have a 2003 Ford F-550 RV ( four winds hurricane 6.8L ) , I want to replace the chassis battery and do oil change , which one should I do first? Take into consideration the last oil change was nearly 3 years ago, ( the RV only been driven 3000 miles in 2018 and been in RV Park since then, I only drove it 100 miles or less in the last 2 years, total mileage is 31,000) the RV was in storage for 8 months from March till November, I had to jump start it to drive it to the hookup spot. The battery is completely dead at this point.
I know that usually I should start the vehicle to warm it up then shut it off before an oil change, but in this case ( and if I replace the battery first) is it a good idea to let that 3 years old oil run into the engine again???
Also a secondary question: is it necessary to replace the oil filter too?
I appreciate any tips and suggestions
Thank you
