Hmmm, I remember Roy saying he goes up 9000 miles between oil changes. I may try averaging you two out... do you recommend using Mobil 1 10W-40 in the car at all? Please don't ask why...

You need to use a diesel-rated oil. Mobil 1 10W/40 is great for a gasser. It does not have the additive pack for a diesel, so it is not recommended. Instead, use Mobil 1 5W/40 rated for Turbo Diesels. That's what I am using, it works well, helps with cold startups if the temps are down.
Thanks,
Packman.
