Re: Oil changes/transmission maintenance
I am away from my coach on a holiday visit, so can't get my manual specific information on the Mercedes engine. However, the Allison calculator above gives these results for light duty as typical of our coaches. Note that the oil is not going to need to be changed very often-but the minimum interval is 4 years, and the oil filter on the transmission needs to be renewed at least once every 3 years, with needing to lube the aux filter at the same time. I just recommend that you do it all every three years to simplify your maintenance schedule:
Annual Distance Traveled 2600 miles (4160 KM)
Average Speed 50 MPH (80 KMPH)
Transmission Fluid 300,000 MILES (480 000 KM), 48 MONTHS, OR 6,000 HOURS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
MAIN FILTER 75,000 MILES (120 000 KM), 36 MONTHS, OR 3,000 HOURS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
INTERNAL FILTER SCREEN OVERHAUL
LUBE/AUXILIARY FILTER 75,000 MILES (120 000 KM), 36 MONTHS, OR 3,000 HOURS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
