I also change the oil in all my vehicles and have been for years.... but especially the diesel Super C and pickup truck. I also change the oil in the generator as well. I also change brakes (although I will leave the Super C to Ford).
When I had Ford do the first oil change (3-years ago before inflation) while it was getting inspected, it was $110 for Ford Heavy Duty Diesel Oil (non-synthetic). It takes a little over 13 Qts with the filter.
I use Rotella T6 Full Synthetic (meets the Ford Spec) and a Motorcraft Filter in the Magnitude and I can do it myself for under $100. A full synthetic change at the dealer would be pushing $200.
