Kosovo roads are quite dirty with dust, i clean the air filter often, every 1000 miles or so. Everytime i clean it quite a lot of dust is blowing out. I dont drive off road. I clean the air filter so often cause diesels consume quite a lot of air and must be clean air. Since i am not changing the oil again i will also never change the air filter but i will regularly clean it with air pressure gun.

When i changed the oil filter at 30.000 km i did not add oil becuase the oil filter is like a cartrige type. It is only paper where you fit it in and close it with the cover/cap. Very small amount of oil will be lost i think about 0.03 l. My Passat 1.9 TDI is turbo equiped, the oil level should be normal within the limits cause if i go a little above normal level the turbine will push it out where it has two small holes. Since 35000 km i added 0.3 liters of fresh oil. Full oil capacity in the engine is 4 liters.
