Looks like 2,600 miles per oil change

Iron took a spike going an extra 253 miles since last oil change. However, I did forget to purge two times during this period and had to start the engine on a mix of cold veggie oil and diesel so that could have caused some grinding of iron. Regardless, next oil change will be around 2,600 miles.


Comments:
You really need to remember to purge correctly.

However I don't think not purging caused the iron spike because the veg oil at start up doesn't affect lubrication. Unless the engine oil is already ruined.

I am curious at what temperature you switch over. I live near you and don't switch until the TDI water temp reads 190ยบ and depending on outside temp wait even longer.
