    Hello to all,
    I just bought my first Dump Truck, a 2005 Western Star 4900 w/ a Detroit/ Mercedes 450hp motor. Everything looks in great shape and she runs smooth as snail snot. I can't get my hands on the old service records so I am starting from scratch. I have already purchased all new filters from my dealer here in Raleigh. My question to you all is does anyone know where I can go to get a list of OEM fluids that are recommended for the truck?

    Thanks in advance,

    BigJohn

    Grab an owners manual and become familiar with it.
