I do it myself so no experience, but I would say probably between $200-$300 depending on where you go.

Check with some of the quick lube/oil places. Some of them have a larger bay door that may accommodate your MH. I do mine myself, it is super easy.

It's only a Ford V-10. Filter and oil costs would be the same as a Ford pickup.
The problem will be service bays. I've changed oil myself on two class A"s and it's not bad as far as clearance underneath, pretty much the same room as a pickup.
I'm guessing around $150-$200 bucks, if nothing else is done for maintenance. The upper range would be with full synthetic.

Man, that's a ton of labor. Considering oil & filter's only $65 + tax. But I guess you have to pay to play if you can't do it yourself.

$115 here in Ohio, that is after taxes. 2021 F53 V8, but that was after they fixed my 3 bad spark plugs, coils and wires due to crap parts. Should have made Ford pay.

Call around your area to see who might be able to accommodate your vehicle and the cost.

Asking here is not going to get you a true figure as costs/charges are different by geographic location.

It is a lot of labor costs. Seems way to much. The last V-10 I did cost around $42.00 for 7 qts synthetic 5 W30 a couple of years ago. If remembering right, another 12 bucks or so for the filter. No other filters changed. I looked up the recrds on this, 3-12-2020. Things may have gone up in price.

We don't charge near that much. But, the RV chassis needs a special lift therefore commanding more money. Just crazy..

I found a Ford Fleet Service center where they have the bigger lifts to accommodate the larger vehicles. I was charged about $130.

Just a thought to share, I have noticed quite a few truck stops with oil change services that use a pit instead of a lift. However, I have never used one or know what they may charge... perhaps they will not even change the oil on a class a, but if not, it is not because they don't have the facilities to do so. ~CA

I'm no mechanic, but why you'd want to lift a 10 ton + vehicle vs. driving it over a pit confounds me.

It cost me 58 dollars and an hour of work, using pure synthetic oil and a synthetic oil filter. I'm figuring 10 quarts because each jug is 5 quarts, I use the extra for the wife's or granddaughters car

I have had oil changed while I watched during cold winter time. The guy pulled the plug, watched till the steady stream dropped to a trickle and put the plug back in.

I pull the plug, take out the filter and go to lunch or something. An hour later everything that can come it has.

And a whole lot cheaper, I know the exact oil and filter going back in and not whatever they have.

Right, and how do you know they even changed the oil

Super easy job. No lift required as anyone can easily crawl underneath. The best place to buy oil has been Walmart for years. Only slightly tricky part is adding the oil back in as the fill tube is way up high. I pump it in with my $10 pump bought at Walmart. I have a 2019 34G with the V10. I think my total cost using Mobile One full synthetic and a high quality oil filter (stay away from cheep oil filters) is about $55 and I know what’s going in there. Same oil filter as my F150.

I just paid $10/qt for full synthetic, things have gone up tremendously. Could I have gotten it cheaper on the internet, etc... probably, but I got the quart containers simply because its easier to pour back in vs gallon jugs.

If I can't see them doing the work because they won't let me I take the vehicle to the outside. Then pull the dipstick and check level. Oil should be pure/clean and not black like when I brought it in. Then lean in or look under and confirm new oil filter installed..

Why? Because sometimes they forget (once in a thousand ?) to refill oil, swap out filter or even put one back on.

One of the attorneys my wife worked with, had the drain plug fall out after going to an oil change place. They gladly replaced the engine with one from a junk yard, he just bought his wife a new car and sold the other outright. If I'm not doing it myself, I don't trust anyone. How many here don't even know how to check the oil or anything else. Did they grease it, did they put up any wires hanging down

^^^^ This!

I always change the oil on my full sized pickups. Same ground clearance.
You will save lots of beer money!
