Yeah, I was happy to see it, I've seen inside plenty of diesel engines on mining equipment, so it is nice to see mine that clean too.
Every 15K without fail, I never went by time, I'd do more than 15K kms in 12mths. I didn't get fancy, I stayed to the Manufacturer's recommended schedule although twice I changed it early due to maintenance I were doing, like the early timing belt, or if I were going the Trans fluid and fuel filter before a long holiday drive but nearer the 15K mark. Nulon 10L drums were typically $75 on sale, over the 7yrs ownership I've had my fill of drums. Also, nice to have it so cheap.
It was also nice to have used all my filters (oil/fuel) from all those years back when ordering from overseas to pad the order.
