You are just about there. Now, install a quick drain so you don't make a mess at oil change time (vacuum cleaner installation) and learn how to puncture your oil filter before removing also so you don't make a mess.

Some of the rear radiator models may have fan blades that could fail. How about a little help from the rear radiator people?

Cheers for reading the forum for oil advice. You are way ahead of the RV crowd.  ^.^d  ^.^d  ^.^d

Look at the fan blades to see if they are fiberglass
If it is you need to change out they have a habit of coming apart and taking out radiator. On the blades you will see the strings of fiberglass. Do a search and you will find pics of fan
