Where do you get oil change done
We have just purchased a 2017 Winnebago Sunstar LX and love it. We are planning a road trip July and August out west and want to get the oil changed and oil changed in the generator. Called Camping World in Indianapolis and they say they don't do any chassis work, not even oil changes, filters, wipers, etc. They need to change their information on their website. Anyway, suggestions on where to take it. Since the Class A's are so tall they don't fit in a regular bay.

I do my own next to my house. Just changed the oil and filter Sunday.
Very easy to lift the front end with my levelers , put two safety jack stands under the frame and slide right under to drain it. Transmission fluid too.
Our waste disposal service takes used engine oil on trash day.
What engine do you have?

In Indy try Mount Comfort Rv - off I70 next to Indy KOA. Also try RV mobil repair on google in Indy - stayed at Indy KOA for 2 wks just left 3 days ago, several MH campers had mobil RV repair come to the KOA, might not do oil changes there, but might have place to change your oil for you.

I take our rig to a truck repair center. They do a great job. I would check for one in your area and call them.

Without knowing the chassis manufacturer, it's hard to say who would service it. I'm guessing it's a Ford V10 gaser. If I didn't change my own oil, I would call the local ford truck dealer or repair shop that works on Fords. Changing your own oil is not very difficult. I'm sure "You Tube" will have a video that may help you.

When we were on the road out west we discovered Les Schawb, a tire service facility and so much more, including oil changes. This company impressed me so much with their competence and customer service that I sure wish they were here in the Northeast.
I've included a link to a page that shows which of their shops offer oil changes. I don't work for or have any economic interest in Les Schawb. But I sure have had great service from them as a customer. Here's the link:

Good luck and maybe I'll see you down the road.

Do a search on rvservicereviews.com. When I was in Phoenix for the winter I found Massey Diesel that way. I am a full timer. They had me stay at their facility with electric hookup the night before and started the work at 7:30 AM the next morning. Did both the motor and generator and were done later the same day. Cost was about $550 for the entire job.

I am in Anderson, IN about 40 miles from Indianapolis. I take my MH to a shop that services school buses. They do not sell Shell Rotilla T, so I furnish the oil and CAT oil filter. They lub 29 fittings and check and top off all other fluids. I have them check and adjust air brakes as needed. Their charge is $95.00.

When we were in the 45’ rig full timing we used a Mobil oil service to do rig. Cummins had 10 gallon pan. Was easier to set up once a year appointment. You may look at Walmart for your rig. They have tall doors at some locations to do straight trucks.

Look for a Ford heavy truck service center.

Being it's a gasoline engine, changing the oil is about the same as regular automobiles. If you already do your own changes on your other vehicles, then you shouldn't have any trouble doing it on the motorhome.
Oil change on the generator is fairly straight forward as well.
