Black Oil In Desiel Engine!

jcollins · Jun 24, 2006

I used to have a favorite thread marked that was lost in the conversion

It was a thread talking about how that black oil in desiel engines becomes black very quickly after you change it. I have search this formum high and low and have not been able to find it. Can someone give me a link to it if they know what I am talking about.

Do you have any idea about how long ago it was or if it was a long thread etc?

Here is one link Oil Turning Black. I did a search using these works. Also found one that was posted in 2002. But it did not say anything different.

The color of the oil means nothing.

Thanks a million this is the one I was looking for. Sometimes it is helpfull for customers to see that we are not trying to feed them a line when they call a couple of weeks later asking if we changed thier oil as their oil is black after we serviced thier tractor. Now I just have to figure out how to mark it as a favorite thread; I am still trying to get used to this new format.

If this is for customer service answeres maybe try and get some literature from the distributors!

jcollins · Jun 27, 2006

You know we have tried that and still we have people that think it is a big conspiracy I have found that those people will accept this even above literature from distributers! But thanks for your help in locating this for me.

What a joke, people do not realize that their oil turns black and think it is supposed to remain clear in their diesels?

I like that it turns black. My old diesel is the only machine I run that it's easy to see the oil level on the dipstick. The lawn mower with the stupid plastic dipstick is almost impossible.
