What's your change oil interval for diesel rides?

5K din for me and I use mineral-based oils.

Sabay palit na din ng air filter every 5K (generic only).

Actually, depende sa brand/make ng ride. Suzuki, for instance, every 5000 kms. Honda Civic naman mga 10000 kms. Anyways, in general, important ang 1000, 5000 and 10000 check ups.

yung every 3000km is on Delo500 SAE40W.... on change oil palit ang oil filter... and every 2 months.. palit ang primary fuel filter, and every 6 months palit ang secondary.

wombat,
Who makes OWS synth oil? What's the viscosity/ API/ Acea rating? Is it made for diesel or gas engines?
A good full synth diesel oil can handle 10k km drain intervals BUT you have to replace the oil filter(OEM or quality replacement) every 5k km(then top-up) and air filter also every 10k km. The oil/air filter removes dirt from the synth oil which doesn't break down easily.

Can't compare the protection from a mineral oil vs a synth so even 3k km intervals on a mineral oil will have higher wear than a full synth at 10k km.
Don't recommend semi-synth oils, their base oil is mineral with synth additives which means the oil will still deteriorate.

D4BB engine was every 10K with Mobil Delvac used then refill with another fully synth brand oil during 5K when changing filters.

TD42 engine every 5K using Petron All Terrain full synth.

Ungas,

TD42 engine every 5K using Petron All Terrain full synth

How does this oil perform in your TD42? What difference did you notice?
