An owner-operator channel focused on daily working-equipment content, so expect a candid, first-person perspective rather than a sales or dealer angle.
The engine oil filter part number is M806419, though two filters with that number had different diameters.
The primary fuel filter is M806645 and the secondary fuel filter is M811032, after the owner corrected an earlier dealership mix-up.
The parts counter said 12 gallons, but the correct amount is about five and a quarter gallons of Hyguard low viscosity transmission and hydraulic oil.
