cyb Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Just had my first service but after pulling out the dipstick I think the oil looks very black? Just wondering where the oil filter is on the 1.4 TDCI diesel so I can see if it looks like it’s been changed. Anyone know or got a diagram?

sparticus5 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 It's perfectly normal that oil turns black soon after being changed in a diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know or got a diagram? the oil in diesel engines usually goes black/dirty looking very quickly, i wouldnt worry about it. oops, sparticus beat me to it.
