Mobil 1 is a good oil, but what you really must look into is the coirrect application. I would suggest a 5W40 full synthetic dual rated motor oil, API SM/CF, SL/CF.

I would suggest against changing every 10,000kms though. Our driving conditions (hot/humid with lots of stop and go traffic) would call for changing every 5,000kms at the least; Even if the oil won't degrade over since its synth, the amount of dirt circulating will just be the same for your oil filter so at least change the oil filter every 5,000kms.

Motul also has synth oil for diesels but the only one i've tried before was Caltex Delo Gold. After that, balik mineral oil since i prefer the peace of mind in changing every 5,000kms to avoid any sludge problems in the future.

its better to change oil every 5000.
mineral oil would be ok as recommended also by casa. Just change your oil every 5k, (CRDi engine Tucson)

Sir, do i have to change my oil (diesel engine)

I suggest to still follow the scheduled PMS and together with it all consumables that need to be changed/replaced.

may life span kasi ang motor oil so need palitan by schedule. part yan ng maintenance cost ng sasakyan. hindi fault ng motor oil if hindi mo ginagamit ang sasakyan. if you think it is not fair, then baka it is time na to sell your van.
