I do all the work on my cars and boat. So now recently getting a 1986 Winni, I don't expect that to change. I know it has a chevy 454 motor.
Now do I just go to the auto parts store and ask for the oil filter for let's say a chevy truck with the same size motor? I also want to change the transmission filter and fluid and the same question applies.
Thank for any info.

Louis,

You seem to know what you are doing and you got good answers here but, I would add one small thing. RV transmissions need the fluid changed out more frequently than passcar and the transmission is hard to drain. So, you will have to be more conscientious about it. To help you keep the transmission alive, add a drain plug to the the pan while you have it down. Then, next time you go the drain 6~8 of the 12 quarts in the trans, it will be a simple and neat operation.

The oil filter is the same as the one for the newer 8.1L engine - a Delco PF454.

You can download a service manual HERE. It has a lot of good info.

'86 454 = flat tappet cam. You need to use oil with more ZDDP than the newer oils specify.
