It's the same motor with a different pump. Use the same interval if it has worked for you in the past. Have you ever had an oil sample analyzed? If not, you may want to pull one at your next change. You will be amazed at what comes up; you might end up going another 2000 km++ based on what is left in the oil. cd

ya i am diesel tech , u can go 10 000km to a change that is what dodge says but i would rather change it at 8000km and be safer , i like my engines :)

I change mine once a year. Last change was at 15,000 miles. I could have gone farther maybe double that. The oil was in great condition. But I also use a Frantz.
