With the latter, can oil changes be extended to 10,000 mile interval? That then could help in the cost difference. 
Thank you so very much for the help!  |
For the Mercedes! You never want to go that far on the oil. The filter doesn't contribute much to oil life. I have the same om617 engine and get STP filters at a local AutoZone and even Wallmart. Don't go 10K, maybe 5. Even with synthetic, these motors are tough on oil and the oil gets dirty pretty quick. Don't use FRAM, not even on your lawn mower.
