I'm not talking about what it says in the book for frequency. I always change my oil and filter much sooner than what it says in the book.
With this being my 1st ever diesel, which is low milage, I want to keep it in the best shape possible. I only do about 6000 a year.
The petrol cars I tend to do twice a year. As mainly short runs degrades oil quicker than long distances.
Do I stick to this sort of frequency given the type of running the car will have?
Thanks
Richard

You are worrying too much, use a quality 10w-40 or 5w-40 semi or full synthetic oil and a quality OEM filter and change twice a year, no additives no flushes, that it all. Enjoy the day.
