First time changing the oil on my 2015 Coachmen 35bh Mirada. Everything was simple and straight forward til it was time to add the oil... lol. The oil fill location is in the most ockward location pretty much making it very tedious to add oil.
Does any of the experienced Ford Chassis gas owners have any tips as far as easy filling?
On the 35BH Mirada you have a small opening in the front of the motorhome to access the engine. So you essentially can not just pour the oil in because of its fill location. The fill location is about a foot higher than the small opening, essentially making it impossible to add oil the old fashion way. Today I had to pour the oil into small cups and then pour it into the fill location. What should have taken 5 minutes took 30.. lol
Slightly luckier than that with the 2014. The front grill opening is larger. Was able to somewhat crawl in and pour in one quart at a time

This is very similar to what I have. Robot Check
If you go to amazon and search for oil pump you will find lots of options.
I think I got mine at Autozone some years ago.

On my 2001, I'm able to get a 1 qt bottle up in there, flip it over, and screw it into the Oil fill tube. It sounds like the new models you don't have room to get the 1 qt bottle in there?

It won't do MACH 2, but I can get a sandwich and take a pee.
