Tom,
The air bladders are typically for a softer ride. The air pressure should be at about 60-80 psi depending on how you like them. Are far as the oil goes...add 5 quarts then keep checking the dip stick. I bet it probally 6 .

Take care.

Tom,
Just saw your post and I assume you recently purchased the MH. I bought an 87 31 foot Elandan 454 last year and have some experience with some items plus I have all the owners manuals. If you want to e-mail me for any specifics feel free to do so.
I have been very pleased with mine. Have had some repair but nothing out of the ordinary.
I have upgraded the a/c with the R134 coolant and replaced the master cylinder, plus tune up, oil change, new tires,(first blow-out is a life altering experience!) etc. So if you have any questions let me know.

I have the same coach a it takes 6 quarts in the pan and 1 or 2 in the filter depending on the filter you use.

The airbags take 60 to 80 psi.

The chassis is a GM P30
