You do need to change the oil and filters periodically.... but all the same, a lot of people change them far more often than they really need to on the diesels. If you took that ISB engine in an AG/Industrial application... I think the recomended service interval for oil/filter is about 500 hours. If you figure that your average pickup truck had an average speed of 40 MPH over it's life... that would equate to 40 MPH * 500 H = 20,000 miles per oil change.
Consider that average highway use and it's load cycles are much easier, the environment is much cleaner... etc. then that 500 H/ 20000M interval is probably not that extreme. What do they recomend? 5000 miles? Mabey 7-8000 miles? I'd think there's a lot of middleground there... Most people could do a lot less oil changing than they do and lose nothing but the cost and time.
