Tuesday I took my 2017 ecodiesel down to the local dealership for an oil change, tire rotation and to check the battery because I thought it was bad (only 25,000 miles.) they ended up keeping it for 24 hours to do a battery test, said it was bad and replaced it. They called me the next day that everything was done and I could pick up my truck.
the next day it dings that I need to change my oil. I pull over and check it - sure enough dark and dirty! I call, raise a fit and take it back in.
Now its Friday, they rush it through and change the oil in 45 minutes, I am happy again! I drove about 120 miles Friday.
Saturday - I decided to pull my EGR to see how dirty it is. while I am at it, I check the dip stick just because why not? AAANNNND it is still black as ever! see attached photos. the oil soaks immediately into a cloth.
before I drive down there and raise holy hell, is there something I should know about ecodiesels and black oil? is the soot in the motor somehow making it black immediately? I really doubt it but trying to give them the benefit....
oh and check out my EGR! only 25,000 easy city miles.
I am trying to get the pictures off my phone and then I will load them.
