I had a round about conversation with the service guy at the dealership. The manual states 15,000 mile. The dealer said every other oil change which at the recommended oil change of 7500 then yes that would be 15,000. So the catch all is in real life the oil changes are more like 3-4000. So that would be every 6-8000 miles. A far cry from the 15,000 the manual and dealer think.
I couldn't get it thru the dealers head that why would I change it every 6-8000 when the manual say 15,000. He just kept coming back with every other oil change.
I do it at 10,000.
GoDucks, do you really change your oil at 3,000 top 4,000 miles?? I change at 10,000 and test, no issues oil still doing great at 10,000 miles.
Unfortunately yes. That's when the EVIC usually prompts me too. I can only get a little over 3000 between changes. I suppose I could send some oil into Blackstone Labs, just never bothered. I don't drive on the hwy all the time so my regens are more frequent. I DIY my own, and at $52.00 it's not bad. I put about 9000 miles a year on it. Seriously considering doing a DPF delete with SIMS.
