oil change on a class C rv with ford V10 engine

Hello,
Im new to this site but wanted info on part numbers for oil filters, oil type, and oil capacity on a 2000 Ford V10 chassis. I am thinking i could change the oil myself and avoid huge cost at a mechanic shop. Also looking for air filter part numbers. any help would be appreciated.
  • I would look underneath the engine, and see what brand and number oil filter is already on there. Cross reference it first via Google, then go buy the parts local. Oil should be pretty common, it takes what 5 or 6 quarts? What does the chassis manual say that came with the owner's manual?
  • I normally do my own oil changes due to the cost at oil change places. I go to Autozone and look up a Ford F550 V10 engine and use the part numbers for filters. Your oil fill cap should tell you what type of oil to use. I can't help you on the capacity though. You might try asking the Ford dealer in your area, they usually will tell you. JMO
