2015 Cummins service question.
So my dealer offers "free" oil changes as long as all the other work is done there, by the manual. So at 6 months, because I don't hit the mileage, I got my free oil change. Now I'm due for my 12 mon...

Service is every 7500 miles or six months. So now I'm at the 1500 mile/12 month service with 9000 miles on the truck.
?!?!?! :h
When I change my oil it shows 15,000 interval!!
I change my oil every 6 months for $75 or less. I use Rotella T6 (5W40) from November to April and switch to Rotella T5 (15W40) for the warm months. Since you're in NC, you can probably safely go 15W40 all year and just change the oil every 6 months. I can do T5 plus a filter for $60.
Fuel filters, so far as I've found, are only available as OEM. On my last fuel filter change I bought a Packaged set on Amazon for about $100. These took less than 30 minutes to replace.
So, to change fuel filters and oil every 6 months it costs about $160. That's a pretty far departure from the $300+ the dealership quoted you for one service.
Oh....and as far as I know, fuel filters are mileage based only. Just watch your indicator in your dash and change them when it tells you.

The dealer is quoting approx $300 for both fuel filters, and a rotate. No charge on the oil change. They did the first one at 6 months completely free so I'm already in the green.
So another words. Keeping it simple and just talking annual fuel and oil changes, I'll spend around $300 a year for two oil changes, two rotates and fuel filters. Approx. $150-ish more than you doing it yourself.
