-Oil Change - 8 quarts of Rotella T6*, OE filter, and Dimple Products magnetic drain plug
X is running quiet and wonderfully. Oil was black and dirty (although that is not an indication of protection), and the oil jockeys had 2 CRUSH WASHERS ON THE DRAIN PLUG - Stuff like that irks me to no end, and makes me happy to do the majority of my own maintenance.
*Cue flame suit and the GASPS because I didn't use LL-04 approved oil - I could give two shits about long term intervals, I change oil on any engine with a turbocharger every 7k-7500 miles max - super low SAPS is all I care about with the DPF and T6 is approved in that respect

I've been running the T6 this OCI as well. Hard to tell if I'm seeing any noticeable difference, as I was crunched for time when my X5D arrived to me back in July, so I had the Firestone across the street from my office do a quick change. I'm guessing they used some sort of Penzoil product, but no clue.
Likely going to go w/ Mobil 1 ESP next change (7.5k interval here as well, cause why not?) to see if I notice any difference in performance or regen.
