Hi I'm having Vigo 2.5 D4D and its 7k on ODO meter. I'm using Mobil Delvac MX 15W-40. I guess its the best oil in miniral among locals. I just wanna know at after how many KMs should I change my oil? I have gone through some other international forums, some people say it can manage 10,000KM and some Trucks fleet say 15000-30000KM and oil quality remains same. Can someone properly guide me about this? As my Vigo's engine is new... Thanks

Filter House, Lahore recommends to get it changed at 5k mark. I too am looking for expert opinion in this regard.

@zee ... thats for Mobil Delvac 1 which is fully synthetic. Delvac MX is good for 4-7k kms.

Ideally you should change the oil not only at km range but also a time range.
I use the Delvac MX and change the oil every 3000kms or 3 months whichever comes first. Some say that's a bit too early, but I'm running a 1KZ-TE with 160,000kms on the odometer and its still not been touched (touchwood)

Keep in mind that you are running a D4D engine and the diesel fuel here does not support it well.
