✦
Overview
An owner-operator walking through a full 800-hour service on his own 2038R, covering engine oil and filter swap, dual fuel filters (with a mid-video correction after a dealership mix-up on primary vs. secondary), air filter inner/outer replacement, radiator inspection, and a complete hydraulic and transmission oil change with filter part numbers called out. Goes hands-on with real tips and honest mistakes, making it most useful to 2038R owners tackling their own scheduled maintenance.
An owner-operator channel focused on daily working-equipment content, so expect a candid, first-person perspective rather than a sales or dealer angle.
