We're due for our first chassis lube. We're in the Seattle area at the moment. I was planning to schedule the lube for Coburg, OR but we may have to hustle East due to family illnes so I was looking for somewhere between Seattle and Spokane to get the lube done. Any suggestions? (I got Cummins Northwest from the CC service list but haven't called them about the work yet)
Second question, how many of you do oil analysis and if you do, who do you use?

Bob, don't laugh when you read this, but the best place for a lube IMHO is a Walmart Supercenter which has doors high enough to accept your coach. For years I paid truck centers a minimum of 1/2hr labor chg for a lube. I take a copy of the lube chart from my chassis manual and Walmart does it for under $ 5.00. They also chang my oil for me ( I use Shel Rotellal ) for about $ 90 with me furnishing the filter. This is about 1/2 what I've been paying a major truck center in Texarkana. The only problems I've had is they refuse to change the coolant filter, and they gripe about how hard it is to put in the oil ( I have a 40' w/tag and it takes a skinny guy to clime into the gap between the engine and the rear bumper).
Like I said, don't laugh at the idea of Wally World servicing your rig. As somebody said, I'm crying all the way to the bank.
