Frequency of oil & filter changes, etc

[Pete Masterson]

As far as I can tell, the 'forever' filter on my DD Series 60 is an OEM unit. They may have had second thoughts after going with it or it was a Blue Bird idea at the time.

Ditto here Paul. My '02 has the factory OEM paper disposable unit.
Under the conditions I subject my coach to, the paper element lasts a
long time: 100K plus miles. In fact, they work better once broken in;
i.e., once they've accumulated a layer of outer dust which functions
as a prefilter.

The folks over on the DetroitDiesel forum strongly recommend
against the aftermarket cleanable lifetime air filters.

That's really interesting Pete. Our 97 has a disposable and we just
had it replaced for the second time in 64K miles. I know we didn't
*need* to have it done, but it wasn't all that expensive and a real
pain to change, so when I have an opportunity to get it done
reasonably, I do it.
