YES, but most NAPA stores don't carry the classic or refuse to carry it..

Tiebox.....I use the Fleetguard Stratopore from Geno's Garage. Here is a link (I hope) http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=LF16035

I do my own oil changes as much as possible. We live in a big RV, and some RV parks we base in for a contract won't let you do your own maintenance, some will.

Thanks for the heads-up on NAPA and the Blue Classic. I will have to start checking them out. I usually don't buy the oil until it is time to do a change because I don't have room to store it too far ahead of time.

Thanks all.......Steve

I get all my oil from Cummins, Valvoline premium blue synthetic and stratopore filters. 10-12km per change depending on hard or easy use. $40 bucks to join the Cummins club for life and get a 10% discount on all fluids and parts.

Seemed like the right peple to talk to for the engine oil. I use their fuel filters too, but don't know what the micron size is. I'll take their word on it.

I know Flyin' J truck stops sell the Valvoline Blue. A while back they had a buy 2 get 1 free deal. I stocked up at that time. If Flyin' J sells it, perhaps other truck stops do also.

I just did an OA on Valvoline Premium Blue with the CJ-4 rating. The numbers were close enough to the previous OA with CI-4+ VPB that it could have been the same rated oil.

Here is the post I made on the OA and the difference.

Bought some VPB at Carquest the other day and was still the CI-4 rated oil. Looked all over town and was only place that had it and was a good find to still see the CI-4 oil.

I'll second the truck stops. Saw it at a TA truck stop and the Flying J's. They had cases of it.
