TDCI black oil

External Since: Jul 02, 2004 Posts: 61

A question for TDCi owners. How soon after an oil change is your oil black?
I was surprised to see the oil already black within a short time. My Mazda
MX-5 could do 10'000 km on synthetic and it would still come out dark gold.
But then again, this is my first diesel, so I don't know what to expect.
