X2, Sleepy. I always have the oil changed for my Duramax at Walmart. They use premium oil. I change my own fuel filters and buy them at an auto parts store not the dealer for half the price. I never go to a dealer, they mark everything way up. If I ever need work, I'll find a good independent diesel shop. So far no diesel work needed after 140,000 miles other than routine fluid and filter changes. -Mark.

I go another step further by going to a big rig filter supply house.

I'm saving another 30% or so on my filter costs.

Yes it means I have to travel further to get them, but, buying two or 3 yrs supply more than offsets that.

Adding another pre lift pump filter adds another 30%-50% to the life of the fuel filters and the lift pump.

There is no way I could ever go back to gasoline trucks after experiencing the Cummins. I have two of them and the second one will still afford great enjoyment for many years.

Brag Brag Brag... but you gasser guys are in for a big surprise full of enjoyment if you ever get your diesel truck.

Get it with a stick shift and you will really enjoy the pleasure of some real machinery.

A little off subject.... if you get auto trans have a trans temp gauge put on with a deep dish, drain plugged pan.
