Engine oil colour
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2011 12:05 pm
Hi all,
Just had my first service done at 10k. All ok I think but I checked the engine oil today after 100 miles and it's already looking pretty black. At first I thought they hadn't done anything. My old Citroens oil used to stay yellow for a good few thousand miles but then maybe it's cos I'm driving a diesel now.
Any thoughts anyone? How long should it be before it turns black?
Cheers
