Can you tell me when to change diesel engine oil?

I just bought a used Mercedes. It’s the first car I’ve owned with a diesel engine. Can you tell me when to change diesel engine oil?

Congratulations on your new purchase. When to change diesel engine oil depends upon how much you drive your car. Experts recommend either every six months or every 5,000-7,000 miles. Be sure to replace both your oil and filter.
As I’m sure you know, the Mercedes diesel engines are very popular, and when
Mercedes-Benz
announced in 2018, they would discontinue them in the United States, a lot of people were disappointed. So count yourself lucky for owning one!
