Runs And Looks great, But the first time I had to change the oil,12 Qts, w/new filter, On checking the level to make sure it was up, it was just as black as what I drained out, Is that normal or has anybody had the same thing happen,. Thanks for any thoughts, Ed
Diesels have always cycled a certain amount of exhaust soot through the oil. This amount has been increased with the newer diesels. This is one reason for the large quantity of oil in the crankcase. That soot will sit on the bottom of the oil pan and when you add new oil will turn black very quickly.
this is one way they have eliminated the black smoke from the tailpipe.
