All this talk of filters...
I just spent $114.07 for an air and two fuel filters
$58.60 for 5 gallons of Shell Rotella 15-40W and an oil filter
$44.70 for four gallons of Zerx G-05 coolant
and $12 for four gallons of distilled water
For a grand total of $229.37
What would the dealer have charged me?

Stupid question: I just did my fuel filters, unfortunately I used the diesel I drained from the frame rail to "lube" both o-rings. Should I open both back up and properly lube the o-rings?
Felt pretty dumb when I read the posts on here stating emphatically to use grease or oil, but I am an old fart and actually can't remember what I have done to lube them in the past (this was my 6th fuel filter change), prolly the same lame move of using diesel.
I see no leaks from either housing, and everything is running well. And I was doing the oil at the same time anyway...
Thanks for advice or comment.
