I have{the wife has} a merc 3.0 V6 diesel over here they recomend not exceeding 20000km
And i think in the begining we changed that at about 18000km
But you need a morgage for oil here {in a merc garage}
It old now{like the wife} she only does about 8000km per year so i will change it {the oil not the wife}maybe after about 15000km
