Greetings all. I know maintenance is always a hot topic here, and all the threads have been very helpful. My question is does anyone have a ready-made spreadsheet for recomended oil changes, fuel filter changes and all the other regular maintenance. Also, do most of you bring your trucks to the dealer for the regular scheduled maintenance or do you do it yourself? I'm pretty good with gassers, but I'm a novice when it comes to diesels. I know changing oil is changing oil....just curious at what you do. Danke.

I change my oil every 3 thousand miles regardless plus filter. The fuel filter is suppose to be every 15 thousand but some guys here do it way before that.
Thankful
