If I'm ever in need of diesel service in the Twin Cities, I'll give you a call, until then, have a happy life.
I have 42,700 miles on my EcoD now. No issues with it. I did have the SCR replaced per the RRT/TSB.

There are no cheap ACEA C3/MS-11106 spec oils. I recently had my oil changed at the dealer for $158. They sell the Pennzoil Ultra Euro L at the dealer here for $6.60/qt.
