My MB 300SD has about 50,000 miles since its last oil change. I installed a bypass filtration system and change the filter (a roll of toilet paper) every 2,500 miles and top up to 1/2 the dipstick level. The top up usually takes a litre of Mobil1 and this maintains the additive level. Ralph Woods at http://www.bypassfilter.com/ is the guy who sold it to me, he's very helpful and has been using these for decades. The system vents a small amount of oil from the lid of the MB filter housing, filters it and returns the oil to the valve cover. I think that dumping the additional oil up there can only help the valve train. I've installed two of these filters on my 2003 Ford F250 SD to filter the oil and fuel. Its only got about 20,000 km since the last oil change. I've been changing the filter on it every 3,000 km. In the Ford the oil pressure sending unit has been tee'd off venting a small amount of oil through the bypass filter which then returns the oil to the filler tube. In both cases the oil that comes out of the filter when I change them appears better than the oil was after regular oil changes. The stuff that came out of the MB was thick and black, the oil is still black, but not as dark and it appears much thinner.
