Do you change it with each oil change, or how often do you change the oil ??

I change it at my yearly oil change. Last couple of years it has been at close to 8,000 miles.
GM recommends change at 15,000 miles. I guess I could change it every other year. But do not want to have to change one on the road just because I wanted to get a few extra miles out of a $15 filter. I buy my filters in groups of 3 for about $45.

Ron,

Thanks for the info, local Chevy dealer recommended every 10000 instead of the 15000 as well because we do not drive MH everyday like commercial trucks, whether that is true or not, it does make sense.

Where do you buy your filters for $15, online?store?
thanks
Mo

I got mine off EBAY a couple years ago. Looks like the price has gone up with shipping. Back when I bought mine they were $5 less plus $8 shipping.

I noticed on EBAY they also have the air filter on sale $59 for 3. These should fit the 2007 and newer engines.

This is not a buy now auction. So you do have to bid on it.

We got our Enduramax with about 15000 miles on the clock. I neglected to change the fuel filter at purchase and about 2000 miles later the filter plugged. I forgot to change the next year as well and at 34k she plugged again. Right around 51k she plugged.
I'm changing the filter at 66k this time. I swear.
