Oil Udder. Nice idea, but pretty unnecessary. I did mine through the wheel well with the filter cap, and it was not an issue. Used the filter cap on the new filter filled with oil, and again, no biggie. The old Cummins without all the plumbing in the way was easier, but this isn't that bad.

I do mine thru the wheel well. I place a rag in the cavity under the filter to catch any oil drips. I use an oil cap from Genos for the removal and installation of the new filter. Quick and easy, and no mess. I find it easy and less messy to change the oil on my 2019 than my old '97 12valve.
I also have a Femco drain valve installed. Makes the oil change even easier with no splashing.Ken & Tammy

A side note,,, I just read that Shell Rotella is going to be hard to get. It's a supply chain problem, they can't get the additives to make the blend. The article I read said it will be the end of the year before they start suppling it again. I use T6 15W40 and it's out of stock everywhere. I did see a couple private sellers that have a couple gallons and are scalping crazy prices.
My oil change will be due soon, Don't know what I will do if I cant get T6 Rotella, I have seen a couple gallons of T5 15W40 but I need almost 3 gallons..
UPDATE = Well I just now found some, Rotella T6 15W40 for three gallons, $171 shipped from company 1187 through Amazon free shipping, crazy prices! I got to have it, don't want to go over my mileage or change oil brands or weights. For my 2018 6.7 it calls for 15W40. I have heard 2019-2022 it calls for a different weight.
I ordered the RAM filter package as well 1 oil 2 fuel filters $140 shipped, I have read they are in short supply as well.Last edited by Steven@147; 08-19-2022 at 07:40 AM. Reason: additional

Steve, I have a F350 Dually Ford with the 6.7 diesel and also use the Shell Rotella in mine. Ford calls for the 5W-40 for severe duty and towing a 20K GVWR trailer certainly qualified for "Severe Duty". I don't know if you are familiar with Rural King....it's mostly a midwest US company, but I just bought oil for my next oil change which it is due for. They have the T6 5W-40 for $60 for a 2 1/2 gallon jug. I bought two of them and had them shipped to my house. I think the total came out to $142.....but that is for 5 gallons of T6.
