Southern California Oil Change

I'm looking for a place to take my 98 U320 for an oil change in the So Cal area. Any help would be appreciated.

What part on SoCal?

I use Mitch's Automotive in Irwindale. Mitch was recommended by a nearby RV repair shop, and has worked out well for me.

I use the cummins dealer in San Clemente.  Rincon truck center. 

Barry likes the freightliner dealer in Claremont?

Has anybody used Camping World in La Mirada for an oil and lube?

I wouldn't let any Camping World near anything chassis related.  Maybe an occasional simple RV house item, but nothing related to drivetrain, suspension, etc.  Much better to go to a truck service place.  Even then, do something so they don't use the wrong lube on your brakes (zip ties on the grease fittings are one idea that's highly recommended on the forum.)

Greg, if there is a Freightliner shop near you I would use them. They did a good job for me in San Diego.

I have once in a while used the SPEEDCO shops, they are usually willing to let you in the pit and I found them willing to be shown what zerks on the brakes to leave alone.  My only worry with all shops is their tendency to crank down as hard as they can on drain plugs and filters.

You could look for a Cummins Cal Pacific location.  I had a good experience with one of their locations.  They certainly know Cummins.

I have also good experiences with Valley Power, and they too have multiple locations.  They are a Detroit Diesel Allison service center but can certainly do regular maintenance on Cummins and anything chassis related.

Thank you all again for your input.
I've made an appointment with Rincon in San Clemente for engine and transmission fluids along with chassis lube.
