Yea i waste a lot of good diesel lube oil too by changing every fall, about 3 liters a year but it goes to recycle. I don’t change the filter every year but i do a visual foe evidence of water in the oil. I have a universal M4-30 diesel engine and I use 10w-40 diesel lube oil from Walmart, Canadian Tire or wherever. They all meet or exceed SAE specs so not much different. It’s always black at the end of the season, which is usually less than 50 hours of use i consider that normal and so far so evidence of water. Point is modern day diesel lube oils synthetic or not are all good.
