It depends on the vehicle. A 617 Benz yes, 10,000 plus miles is too far. If your talking about a pristine 2005-2007 CDI/BlueTEC, a 13,000 mile oil change intervals are recommended or 2008-2009 all MBs have a 10,000 mile oil change interval. In fact the recommended MB 229.51 spec oil for CDI/BlueTEC diesels is formulated with a Long Life additive package in that if you change it
much sooner, you actually will cause your engine to wear sooner.
