sorry one question, ok maybe two. I've got a 8.3 1999 Cummins diesel in my Rexall. i got the filter Donaldson P553000. I'm assuming your filter LF9009 is the same? thanks for the word on putting the gallon in first, ill do that. my second question is i see your using a synthetic blend. Can i use that in my year of engine? i found a few bottles in the basement of the rv that was Delo chevron 400 SDE ISOSYN Advanced 15 40 but i looks like regular heavy duty oil.
Thank you for your comment! Rexall made a great motorhome! Yes, the Fleetguard LF9009 is a direct replacement for the Donaldson P553000. Yes, synthetic blends such as Delo 400, Mobile Delvac 1300, Shell Rotella T5, or any oil with the API classification of CK-4 meets the Cummins requirement. All 3 are great oils. Feel free to reach out if I can assist with anything else.
@@mickeyj4228 thank you so much, I own a park model no engine haha and a Fleetwood gas engine so this is my first time owning a diesel. Infact is so my first time. I put 275$ worth of diesel and then the next week I topped it off earth 50 gallons of gas 🤦♀️😫. 835 tow bill right from the pump. Anyway thank you for you’re video I’m saving that $600 from camping world right the road and trying to do this myself. Just figured out the mode shifter thing and diagnosing the fuel levels. 7 quarts low in the Allison transmission 🤦♀️it said . Just bought this rig so finding out a few things. Haha
So, you learned how to check the transmission fluid level using the shift up and down arrows? That's great, just make sure the transmission is at operating temperature when checking. You'll never want to go back to a gas motorhome. Fixing the power steering hose has probably been my biggest job in 15 years of ownership.
@@mickeyj4228ok hi my friend. So I dropped another gallon of ATF in it got it up to temperature and then did the calculations- the shifter maybe out of calibration idk but it still said 4 quarts low. Like it said first. Anyway dipstick don’t lie, check it running way below the add hot mark - checked it not running but 170+ degrees and it read add hot ? I’m I doing this right? So I’ve added 7 total quarts so far. Still says add hot 🤦♀️ looks like this Allison was bone dry!
It must have been very low. Go by the dipstick with the transmission at operating temp I just double checked a post I made when I changed the 2 transmission filters and upgraded to the Allison Transynd Fluid. I actually called Allison with my serial number to verify the filter kit part # and asked about capacity. The tech told me refill "by the book" is 17 qts. Some will be full at 16 and some may take 18gts. I put in 4 gallons, drove it until transmission was at operating temperature. Checked it and added one quart and it was full on the dipstick. On my next trip when stopped at a rest area I checked it with the control panel, and it was "OK"
