Speedco charges by engine displacement for their oil change and lube services.

If you look at the menu you will see that the quantity of oil provided is per the engine manufacturer's specifications.

A Cummins ISM would take about 40 quarts of oil and would be classified as "Heavy Duty PM".

My C8.3 is the "Medium Duty PM" and takes around 23 quarts of oil.

Fleetwood (i.e. Cummins) is their standard filter. You get 2 included (oil or fuel) and pay for the additional filters at a reasonable cost (water and secondary fuel filter in my case).

There is NO upcharge for Fleetguard filters.

Generator service is $49.99 which includes an oil and fuel filter.

Speedco is the best IMHO for the services that they provide....no appointment...no leaving your coach...great prices and very professional service

I have a 425 Cat ..... Those who have cummings should consider the same as I do. Stick with the people who work on diesels. I stick with Petersen here in Oregon. + for a few more dollars they analyze your used oil for particles/shavings/chemicles that might be indicators as to what's going on inside the engine.

Don't think you will find any Cummings owners here.

Speedco only services diesels.

I agree that the oil analysis is a best practice. Speedco prints out your current and all prior for $18.

Speedco is even cheaper for my CAT than the independent house I use near Ocala. I DO get three filters for the $189 so I guess they are about the same.

I forgot to mention that they also do coolant testing for that price and will do engine oil analysis and email you the results.

I have a 350 Cat and a 7.5 diesel Onan generator.
Purchased a box of 6 gallon oil at Sam's Club for apx $75 and purchased my filters locally from a Onan store and truck service shop.
I think I paid $110 tops for the materials.
I have a local guy who changed all filters, oil and lubed my chassis for apx. for $65. A total of $175.
I'm thinking that the garage would have charged me $500 or more for this job.
To save $$ a plus. Going to need it for the increased cost in diesel.
That's another issue!

I just had the full annual service done on my ISB Cummins engine and Freightliner chassis. It was $700.00 at Mc Clain's RV in Denton, Texas where I purchased the coach.

I use Valvoline Premium Blue, paid $17/Gal with gen set buy 7 gal. Wick oil filter $45 (coach), same for Gen at about $15. So I guess that totals up to $179 Just for material. It takes about an hour start to finish to do both.
