Analysis is the only thing that will tell you... Make sure you get the TBN or TAN (total base number, total alkalinity number) done so you can see how much additive is left, and also get the soot % and viscosity done to see if the oilhas taken too much on. I cant imagine it has though, in a well tuned, newer engine.
Ill be posting an analysis of delvac 1 in a normal drain interval of about 3 months, 4k miles in the upcoming months from out of my 83 300d... stay tuned
