Just did mine. 16 bucks for MotorCraft filter (advance auto online with TRT30 discount)and 84 bucks for 16 quarts T6 5w40 Rotella9( Walmart). 5 buck rebate under each cap. So I am in it for 100 and will get 20 back. 80 is decent IMO.Decided on the synthetic after lots reading.( And against my mechanics opinion )

She is not a leaker so hopefully its a myth about synthetic making her a leaker. Was considering lubriguard since it is 10.58 a gallon for 15w40,but just decided to save money elsewhere besides oil,Maybe keep my fatbutt out the restaurant for a week.

What are yall spending on oil changes?
Regarding oil change interval,mileage is never a problem, is the time element crucial? I just did mine cause it has been 6 months,but only 2500 miles.

 

I do the same except get the filter at walmart, around $110.00 twice a year. Between 3.5 & 4.5 k Same oil, i have it checked at blackstone once a year for piece of mind.

 

Howdy,

Doesn't matter where you get your filter as long as it's a Racor filter. ($13) That means get a RACOR or a Motorcraft. I like Dieselfiltersonline.com Just shop around. I got enough oil, air, trans and fuel filters to get free shipping.

if I was only driving 5000 miles per year, I'd change mine once a year. There's no real benefit in changing it at 2500 miles unless you do a LOT of short trips where you don't get it warmed up. And if you are doing that, you should consider getting a different vehicle. That kind of driving is very hard on any diesel..... especially one with cooled EGR.

I change every 5000 miles, using Rotella oil at 13.00 per gallon.

 

He's using Rotella 5W-40 T6 (synthetic) which is around $22gal at Walmart

Rotella 15W-40 is approx $13

 

I just grabbed 4 gallons at OOO " O Riley's They priced check Auto Zone $27 a gallon, O' Riley gave me $21 a gallon T-6 Rotella , and I get My Filters at Riff raff diesel products , Last time I did Wally world somebody switched the filters

 

Hard to beat RiffRaff's oil filter price of $13.95 isn't it!

 

It sure is and I know it's the right one , only thing is I try to fill the box for full shipment Lot's of Goodies to come

 

FYI, that Rotella coupon is only good for two gallons per household, so you'll only get $10 back and prolly have to wait 2 months for that besides filling out the paperwork or whatever. When I realized it was only $10, I didn't even mess with it.

 

Not only that, but the rebate expired 10/31. Oh well, was going to get the T6 anyway

 

Dieselfiltersonline beats it at $13.50 (there's shipping though, unless you get enough to make the shipping free)

If you go in with others, (more than 12) you get them for $12.50

I bought 6 oil, 2 fuel 1 air 1 trans and got free shipping I am set for a couple of years!

I also got in on that Autozone $1/qt Mobil1 TDT to the tune of about 36 qts! and 4 gallons for $12/gal !! Woohoo!

 

I use Royal Purple. Get 16 qts on Amazon with free 2 day shipping for $110-120.

I didn't recall that their Racor was that cheap! I use dieselfiltersonline also when I can get a big order up ($250 +) otherwise they are a little high on shipping. It has been awhile since the last order - might just be time to see if any locals want to go in together for one.

I am finally done with my Mobil Delvac ESP fling - now it is time to get back to the CHEAP Mobil 1 TDT oil - what a sale that was! Some folks seemed to believe the sale was because Mobil was discontinuing that oil, but it is still plentiful ... back at the pretty-penny price.
