Is this your first diesel? If so, you need to know that diesel motor oil turns black in a matter of days, if not hours after an oil change from the soot left from combustion. If you are expecting a pretty amber color on the dipstick everytime you check the level you are gonna be changing your oil on a weekly basis.....
This is a Ford V-10 gas engine, we have a 2015 ACE 30.1 with the same engine. I change at 5000 miles not the 7500 the manual calls out and there is always the same amount of oil as it started with. Jim.
