Oil Change

[PeoriaKen]

Getting ready to change the oil in my HR Vacationer 8.1 engine. Is any oil better for this engine over another?

Thanks all, going with Mobil 1 and I got the Napa 1060 filter.

X2 on Mobil 1. Get a AC DELCO pf1218, OR fRAM ph5 OR NAPA1060 oil filter. They are the 1 quart size, 1/2 quart bigger than workhorse standard. That way you won't ba stuck with a half quartof oil left over. Also a little more oil is better.

A lot of good oils out there today-------especially the synthetics from a major company. Mobil 1 is a good choice and is available in lots of different viscosities. A 5w-30 would be the most common choice, but some of us run heavier viscosities in our gas MH's because of the duty cycle and the potential for running hotter than normal (climbing a long grade pulling a toad). I've used 15w-50 for a lot of miles and (for the sake of one oil in several vehicles), I'm been using Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel 5w-40 for the last couple of years. It is also rated for gas engine use SM and SL.
