No. Change it 10k max

EDIT: Watched the video. No more than 10k miles

I wonder how many TDV8's have had oil changes at sub-10k, and hadn't suffered any turbo failures?

My L322's oil has been changed every 10,000km so 6,000miles and now has 260,000km. All going well. I disabled the EGRs at about 250,000km. ______________________________

150k miles without a turbo problem

interesting, seems to be at Miller oils.

I do mine annually which equates to about 8000 miles. and normally before the service light comes on.

For the milage i do its not worth swapping it any more frequently, but if i did then i would do an interim swap at home.

We had an old Landcruiser Colorado a few years back, racked up way over 200k before the coolant hose went and took the engine with it! I had changes every 6000 miles, mostly when the old man couldn't find a parking space at his practice so left it at quick fit next door instead. before it went pop the engine was running really well, and had not had a mechanical issue since new. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

It's interesting the 2010 model 3.6 tdv8 recommended service interval is 24,000km or about 14,000 miles. However, the 2007 3.6 tdv8 is 11,000km.

I'll stick to my 10,000km oil change, much cheaper than a new motor. ______________________________
