It is on a 2006 E450 Ford Chassis. I would like to know what type of oil is recommended (Viscosity, Synthetic blend or full Synthetic) and does anyone know the Motorcraft or Fram Oil Filter #? Thanks for any information.

PF 1250 is the AC Delco filter number, if you need that. I personally use Pronto filters P04651 as they are a lot cheaper and of equally good construction as OEM. Roughly $1.75ea. vikrv • View posts Pacific Wonderland Senior Member Joined: 08/06/2010 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 02/11/12 09:23am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I use the Motorcraft FL820S oil filter and Mobil 1 full synthetic 5W-20 oil and change the oil once a year. 2006 Jayco 28', E450 6.8L V10, TorqShift hilldude • View posts Red house WV Senior Member Joined: 03/08/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/11/12 11:45am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I use Motorcraft 5w20.I don't have the Fumoto valve in the MH but have one on the car well worth the money.

Since the filter is mounted vertical, it's easy to get any kind of wrench onto to remove it. But! The Oil Cooler Adapter is above the filter, so you get a lot more oil draining out once the filter is off than you might expect. Way more than you want to trap with newspaper. Some kind of pan for sure!

If the engine did not come with Mobile 1 synthetic oil can it just be introduced with the next oil change? OR is any flushing out required?
