According to amsoil (not that I would push it this far) is the oil can actually do 25k or 1 year however the vq37 can only fit their 15k filter. So 10k is still well below the rated mi for the oil. Really when you think about it the filters job it to filter particles which on today's low drag, low scuff designs (all roller, no flat tapet etc) so not a lot of debris and it is the additives in oil that really break down so as long as the additives hold up (which are tons better today than ever before but you pay a premium for them) then the risk of premature wear is pretty low.

I'm curious to see my results, guess will find out.
When I left Mercedes, the 2015 Sprinters just got switched to a 20K OCI.
