Hi there just bought a CDTI last week and I checked the oil today as I was going thru the weekly checks n that and noticed it is black as the ace of spades!

It only got a full service 2k miles ago before I bought the car, does diesel engine oil go this black this quickly or have they just stamped the book and done tit all?

cheers lads.

diesel oil does go black quick but you may be better getting it checked just incase mate !

sounds fine mate, nalt to worry about it can go black in no time at all especially if no flusher has been used.

i wouldn't be suprised at all mate.. in fact.. i reckon that's what they did with mine! after first service i could tell it was smoother.. just had 2nd one in feb.. felt the same.. sluggish..! vxl are a bunch of ****ers! my one.. (streford/trafford) is sh!te! no space for parking, cramped to ***.. erm service is appauling!

don't worry mate, it's fine.. mate was on LOW oil for his diesel, topped it up and checked it a few weeks later and was black!
