We had a guy in the shop last week during the cold snap here. Cheaped out on chassis Mx for a couple of years. Just changed the oil and filter himself. One of his fuel filters (the one that is hard to reach) was totally plugged with gelled fuel and algae. Stored the coach with 1/8 tank, then started it up to head for FL. Made it about 15 miles before the engine started bucking.
He was in the shop for 6 hours at $140 an hour, plus 2 fuel filters, an air filter and 32 quarts of Rotella and an oil filter. Like the old commercial says; pay me now or pay me later.
If you're going to do your own maintenance, make sure you do all of it.
