Maverik Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 If we're talking Diesel, it doesn't take long for the oil to turn jet black, just due to the type of combustion being rather carbon rich. Nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to worry about. I agree. I was advised to use a cheap oil and change regularly. But yes it goes from honey to tar very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
