I change it every 6-8k and if it’s around 8k the level of oil is at minimum meaning it’s much better for my engine. Different oils are good for different temperatures but there is no need to use 0w-30 if you don’t leave In Norway.
Does your D5 consume oil? When we bought ours it was arb 3/4 and 2k on it’s still at the same spot. Do they burn oil? Ours is at 166k
