Oil and filter change. Delvac 1300 15w-40 and Fleetguard LF16035 filter. I also removed the air filter and air filter housing hoping I could access the filter, but I wasn't able to; however, I did clean up the air filter housing -- which was covered in filter oil and dirt -- considerably. Note that the service manual says oil capacity, including filter, is 11.0 quarts. This is incorrect. Actual capacity (with a Fleetguard LF16035 filter) appears to be approximately 11.8-11.9 quarts. I put in 12.0 quarts and the oil level is above the hash marks after sitting overnight. This may be due to the filter not being quite saturated yet. Also note: using a filter end cap socket is the easiest way to remove the oil filter from this truck. The filter is accessible by taking the inner fender off, but there isn't enough room to get a wrench in there -- so don't bother taking the inner fender off.
