But you have to let the gas station monkeys pump the RUG into that Mr2!

I just filled up for 2.799 with B20 blend diesel fuel at my local safeway. 4 full cents below RUG!

Why do you change your oil every 5K miles?

You can surely go longer than that.

Only way to safely extend OCI on the iron head diesels is with a large bypass filter soot filter. The 617 produces a lot of soot.
