Oil change interval
 
What kind of oil change interval would you guys do on the following cars? I've decided to go with two year intervals unless I'm really missing something. Using synthetic in the SLK and the ponton, dino diesel oil in the 240D. Mann or Hengst filters in all. Oil analysis on the ponton and the SLK show that the oil is in good shape after two years.

SLK - 2000 - 2500 miles a year
Ponton - 750 - 1000 miles a year
240D - 250 - 500 miles a year

I would think 18-24 months on all of those cars!

I think the cab needs to be driven more

Thanks for the replies guys. I feel pretty good about the two year oil change interval with the kind of miles I'm driving those cars. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Lee - I agree, but I've got too many cars and not enough miles to go around. My 240D for example I'm lucky to have to fuel it up once a year. It's my recycling and Home Depot "truck."
