I maintain the regular interval regardless of B100 usage. Really no need to do it more often, except after the first usage of B100 if you have only been using Dinodiesel.
Guy at Pickering VW told me its every 60,000 for the ALH engines.pretty sure the interval is 10k

[Yeah right I thought]
Thats the last thing I'm gonna do is INCREASE my change interval right when they start making the dam things in China.
Nice one VW Dealerships...nice one.
All the more reason to do it proactively. The last thing you want is to do it for the first time on the side of the road on a dark, snowy nightI've put 33K on my car since I bought it last year, haven't changed the filter yet. Who knows how long it has been in there. No problems though. I even have a new filter, just never seem to have time to change it. Plus, since it will be the first time for me, I expect the usual unanticipated "complications"...
You know, since I've been a member of this community, I've read numerous horror stories about botched fuel filter changes. Most of them were done because there was a "problem" going on with the engine. So, the general concensus is to "throw a fuel filter" at the problem and all will be well.. Then it still want start and now they don't have clue whether it is the original problem or a botched fuel filter change.I knew a fellow who ran WVO and was so thorough in his fuel cleaning, he never changed a fuel filter. Ever.
why would you change the oil filter every oil change if it isn't clogged? this is a pretty awful mentality to have when dealing with maintenance of your car.Why would you change the filter before it clogs? It seems to me the longer you leave the filter in, the better it filters. When you have a loss of power, change the filter. Maintenance schedules make $$$ for service departments.
