Another little something you may want to watch. I thought I had a good dealer too. I took my 6.7 diesel in for an oil change. Everything seemed to be good, but that time I decided to check my oil when I got home. After an really tough 6 mile no load ride home on a 0% grade, the oil was just as black as when I brought it to them. The filter looked brand new. HMMMMM. When I started it to take it back and complain, the change oil light came on. When I got back to the shop, I got the standard "diesel runs dirty" line. Not worth a major fight, just informed them they would never see me again.
That's about right !! Your oil will be black in your diesel. I change the oil in my 6.7 CTD myself and it is always black when I check it right after I run it down the road a few miles. That is normal for my truck. I have to reset the oil change light too or else it will come on.
