I do what most service places or dealers consider a B service every 20K.
Oil, filter, fuel & fuel water separator filters, lube.
Every 2 or 3 i do the coolant filter.
DEF filter at 250K.
Of all the things in the whole world to skimp on, oil and filters ain't it.
I've 0 pity for people that do.
B service?

There is no reason to be shocked by the engine manufacturer oil change recommendation. You have to pay attention to what they’re telling you. Don’t just breeze through the manual. If you think they’re telling you that everyone should change their oil every 50,000 miles or higher, you clearly did not pay attention.
On the DD15, there are three categories for service: Severe, short haul, and long haul. Each one of these will be further broken down into miles and engine hours. You go by whichever comes first. Some engine manuals will also include the “time” the oil has been inside the engine. All of these are intended to protect the engine from damage—but you have to pay attention. Understand what you are reading. If you cannot do that, then just change the engine oil every 5,000 miles and forget about it.Attached Files:

And I’m at 470k on mine, I’m not sure what guys are getting out of these. In 2015 the MX13 had quite a few changes from the early design they had. About the only thing mine has in common with the first gen ones is the block.PE_T Thanks this.
