    There's nothing wrong about crawling under truck and greasing/inspect it once every couple weeks or so. Besides I'm not a front row operator so I got under truck just fine.

    Try it when it is 30 degrees out and wet.

    I got fed up with trying to deal with it, and with a fleet, I trust the drivers but the 'tech' who miss lube points, I have to do something.

    You can always buy your own filters. Take them along with you. I would have to look it. But thinking I paid less then what they went up. For a pair of Fleetguard oil filters.

    I will stick with fleet guard. I just don't like Baldwin. They seem to not last, I will only use in a "HAVE TO" situation. Like fuel filter collapsed and has to be replaced right now. Even then I will change it out asap or within a few weeks. Every time i can remember having a filter problem. It was with a Baldwin. Or maybe its my imagination and just seems that way. Like some people prefer Stella and others delvac.

    I wonder if they would deduct filter price from bill if I brought my own filters?
