Thats not the brand... I cant remember the brand, but I have looked it up online before and found parts for it. Its one of the three main companies that make lifts (well kinda). The company that makes mine got bought out a few years back by one of the main three so thats who makes parts for it.

I have long spirts where I work 12-14hrs a day and 6 to 7 days a week. Finding time to do it myself isn't always possible. I have thought about buying a 50 gallon drum of oil and always doing it myself, but the initial investment is kind high.

I used to never fill the filter up with oil, on previous vehicles. All my previous vehicles were gassers, and the oil filters were never straight up and down, always on a good angle or sideways so the oil would have spilled out.

Take a look at the filter size on our engines though, its huge, alot of time that truck is running, filling that thing up, and not putting oil elsewhere...
