I want to do an oil change on my 2016 Entegra Anthem myself. Has anyone done this and if so, can you walk me through the process? In particular, I need the location of where the drain is, where to fill it up, location of filter(s), etc. Thanks!

From the sounds of your question , I'm thinking that you don't do oil/filter changes on other family vehicles .

If that's the case , I'd say that a Class A diesel isn't the place to start .

JMHO ; of course.

Welcome to the forum. The search bar in the upper right hand corner of the page is a wealth of information. I typed in; Entegra oil change, and this was one of several post that appeared. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f278/fas...ge-624112.html
I will add, if this is your first oil change on the coach, add a Fumoto quick change valve for future changes. best money ever spent. Drain the used oil into 1 gallon milk jugs instead of a messy oil pan. Much easier to drop off at Walmart. https://www.amazon.com/Fumoto-F-104N.../dp/B003VC97N0
To add the valve before you change the oil, put a shop vac on the oil fill tube, change the drain plug, no oil will be lost.

Sorry--but agree with Skip.......practice on another vehicle first.

I used to do them on my 2000 Monaco Dynasty but this is a new coach to me and I’m not sure where everything is located.

Thank you so much! It’s just what I was looking for.

Thanks for the additional info .

If your Monaco had a Cummins ISB or ISC and your current engine is also a Cummins , then locations will be similar ( drain plug and oil filter ) check your owners manual for oil capacity as the newer engine could hold a couple of gallons more .
You don't want to be under the coach with too small a drain pan .

Find a Goodyear tire and service center - check if they service RV's .... my 7 gallon sump, filter, fuel/water separator and a complete chassis lube and inspection for well under $300. Cheaper than I can do it myself sometimes, no oil/filter to dispose of, and a trained set of eyes on your chassis - worth it.
