The oil change is no more expensive then that of the Cummins. The filter has come down in cost to under thirty bucks.
Gad, I should hope not as expensive as the Cummins. The Cummins takes huge quantities of oil, and our local dealers seem to delight in ripping us off for the oil and the filter. I also have to change oil 2x per year just to maintain the warranty.
I end up spending 4-5X more per year on oil changes relative to my 2011 F150 Ecoboost.
Sorry, pet peeve of mine. I would hope the Ecodiesel should be a lot less to maintain than the Cummins.
The Ecodiesel uses 12 qts the Cummins uses 13 and my oil change is every 10,000 miles.
The only plus oil change wise on the Ecodiesel is that it's 10k miles or once a year. Cummins is 15k miles or every 6 months (twice a year). I maintain the twice a year oil change for the time being since I'm under warranty. I do drive 80% city too, so I'll probably keep that interval, I do severe duty changes on all my fluids due to stop and go conditions.
