I'm with wolvereeny and chinrv. Class C's are so high, you can pretty much crawl under andy of them to change oil without lifting. Any local auto shop with outdoor space can do it for you. Although, even though it isn't really any more work, many shops will call your MH an HD vehicle though and charge a little bit extra.
Oil choice sparks a lot of debate on enthusiast forums, so YMMV on advice. :-)
I use Shell Rotella T Triple Protection in 15-W40. That weight is good for my all California driving and the oil is JASO MA rated. Rotella is as good as the high priced premium "synthetics", but at WAY less cost. You have to know if your catalytic is sensitive to high ZDDP though as I have read that some catalytics are very sensitive to high ZDDP oils. I always use a Purolator PureOne filter.
