Yes- it's been getting less frequent since retirement but I do still change it earlier than the oil monitor calls for a change. I've been using Motul 5w-40. It's full synthetic and I had been getting their 8100 X-cess Gen-2 without problems for roughly $53 for a 5 liter bottle. Right now, Amazon's got it for $83.41 for 2 5L bottles ($41.71 each).
However, now I'm seeing Motul 5w-40 X-CLEAN that is Dexos2 approved and continues to provide protection with prolonged changing intervals and is full synthetic too. It's available for $39.99/5L at Amazon right now.
So $80 and the cost of a filter. I'll keep DIYing the oil as long a I can-LOL!
