Severe Service Schedule - link to premature failures?
Anyone aware of this? Cross posting in the w213, w205, and x253 forums since all models can utilize the M274 2.0L engine. I've been seeing stories of clogged oil separators , turbos going bad, and on the M270 the cam adjusters going bad. I've never been a fan of the 10k mile oil changes and service my cars at 5k. Found this while searching the WIS maintenance section regarding severe usage and the recommendation to change oil more frequently if the criteria are met (50% trips less than ~5 miles where engine doesn't have a chance to warm up). Wondering if those who have had issues fit the bill for severe usage using the 10k mile service intervals.
