Hello,
I have just picked up a mint 98 C250. I just got the car its first service and thought I would check the oil level afterwards (2 days later) to my surprise the dipstick is coming up with the oil looking 'old' and black. My concern is did the dealership screw me and not change the oil or is this normal for a diesel car. My experience with petrol is the oil looks pretty fresh for a quite a few weeks after being changed.
Thanks for any feedback on this.
Gareth
