It cost me $85.00 to change the oil on my diesel pusher. Just saying.;)

I tried changing mine once myself. Had to factor in the cost of a new shirt, new pants, and a bag of kitty litter into the total cost.

Like I stated I was just saying as we have a large farm shop so changing oil is not a big deal, plus my work clothes are usually not to tidy also! But when I work on my motor home I take a change of clothes to the shop as my wife won't be happy with me driving the coach with my shop clothes! Also the C7 Cat only hold a little more than 5 gallons of oil and the filter from Cat is $15.50.;)

But if you are going to compare doing the work yourself, it would probably cost you under $25 to change the oil yourself on a gasser ($5 filter and $20 of oil - actually probably even cheaper ...).

It's also easier to do it on a gasser (e.g. I don't think I have a large enough pan to hold all the oil from my DP but the one I have would be enough for my old gasser). I also do not have 10k lbs axle stands to support the rear of my DP but I do have 3k lbs axle stands that are plenty for the front on my old gasser. Obviously all that can be easily changed but it's more to point out that equipment most people might have in their garage might be sufficient to do some work on a gasser is likely not sufficient to work on a DP. It's also quite a bit easier to reach to oil drain on the gasser.
