I need help with doing an oil change on my RV, a 1990 Kountry Star?

I just bought my first RV. It is a 1990 Kountry Star, from Newmar Corp. I'm about to take it across the country for a trip, and I want to do an oil change on it before we leave. I know how to change the oil, but my problem is that I don't know what kind of oil filter I need for the engine, and for the generator. I do know what kind of oil I need for the engine, but I don't know if the generator takes the same kind or not. I have looked online and called around to multiple locations, and have no luck from anyone with any answers, The previous owner stated that he just had a semi-truck shop, through Ford, do all his maintenance for him. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I assume you checked with a local RV dealer. Their parts dept should have everything you need. Is it possible to get info from the garage the previous owner used. Generator will not use the same oil as the engine

So you don't know if it is a diesel or gas engine? I'm guessing it is a NEWMAR. NEWMAR made many models. How about giving us a clue.

  • I just bought a 1990 Ford Ranger and it is doing something weird? As stated in the title I bought a 1990 Ford Ranger today and it had recently gotten some parts replaced including: Fly Wheel, Starter, tires and some others. But the problem is, when I'm stop and accelerate the whole truck shakes and jiggles and I'm not exactly sure what it is? Any comments help. It's a Ford Ranger 1990 Automatic 4wd. Also, I'm not sure if this is normal on these old of cars but when on the freeway going about 65 that's red lining it.

  • Why did the change oil light just come on in my car after an oil change? We have a 2016 Ford Escape and we just had the oil changed about 1000 miles ago at a Fox Ford near us. The oil light was not on when we went there and was not on after we left. It just came on now with a message saying that the oil needed to be changed. So what is causing this? I know the light doesn't need to be reset because it was not on before the oil change or afterwards until now.
