Went the pusher route this year, but always did my own oil changes. I'm a desk jocky so doing my own maintenance is kind of a good release for me, I enjoy it. Anyway, being an engineer, I read up on everything I could find which made it sound like a daunting task. That is until I went into the local Cummins joint. the guy behind the counter hooked me right up, got me all the right filters, and I was surprised the prices were the same as what I would pay on the internet, but didn't have to pay for the shipping. He told me all the tips too. I followed his advice and the job went easier then I expected. One 5 gallon plastic pail was perfect for the job, and with a quality metal strap filter wrench, the filter was easy. Actually, the hardest part of the job was pouring in the oil from 1 gallon jugs. I think I'll go the drill powered pump for the next time. Overall, I could have had the job done in 15 minutes with the drill pump.
Next up, is the gen-set, this looks harder then the engine.
