Downside to Diesel.
just called the Dealer, $202 for an oil change and filter now. UGH.
Checked with the shop that did my Hydro Boost repair, $400 bucks.
Guess its time to learn to do my own.

When I got my truck in 21 I ordered a dozen oil filters. Came out to less than $12 per filter. Also, I had previously found a few gallons of Rotella T6 5W40 for $20/gallon, but now it seems that Rotella T6 5W40 has been back in stock at my local Wally World at $25 gallon. So, at current cost it will cost me about $110 to change my own, using MC filters and T6. But the best part is that when it's done, I will know it was done correctly, and replaced with what I know and want... that's priceless!

WalMart will be your best bet for oil and filters (less $). Tractor Supply sells oil also, some in 2.5 gal jugs and 5 gal pails.
dieselfiltersonline.com for bulk purchases on official Motorcraft filters. Over $250 gets free shipping. I've used them before.

At least at the Wally world near me, oil has been hit or miss. Motorcraft 10w30 (diesel) is basically non-existent, 5w40 are only a gallon or two and they don't always have the MC filter in stock. I think for my next change I am going to have to suck it up and order ahead online. Planning isn't my strong suite I guess.

I had 3 quarts left over from previous oil change. So purchased 3 1 gallon jugs of Rotella T6 5w40 and a Fram filter from Wally World and it was a tad over $100.00. There was no Motorcraft oil or filters.

4 gallons of Rotella 15w40 is about 65. You'll have 3 quarts left over for later changes. 13.00 filter (Donaldson P502503) every 5k miles.

Since I have 3 diesels, the 6.7 and two Kubota tractors, buying in bulk is a benefit. Tempted to buy a 55 gallon drum, but then need the dispenser and fill can, and a place to store it. For me, buy it by the case is the best solution. The filters for the Kubotas cost a whole lot more than the Motorcraft ones. I had to replace one hydraulic filter after 50 hours and nearly fainted when I was told the price. $125!!! Thankfully I don't need to replace it for another 430 hours.

Unfortunately, that isn't bad. I think the going rate for an oil change on my wife's Sienna would be something around $120-140 for 6.5 blooming quarts at a dealer.
