Burnt macoroni
Dealer changed my oil previously b/c it was free. I noticed yesterday after 4k mi. the oil was very dark and smelled like burned noodles on the stove. I changed the oil and switched to rotella t6. What would cause the oil to smell like this. Motorcraft oil was previously used. No its not the HPFP!

I had the oil changed at a quick change place and they put in 15 qts, When they pulled it out of the bay and handed me the paperwork, I noticed the 15 qt charge and called them on it. They of course said thats where full on the dip stick was, I pulled the manual and showed them that it only takes 13 qts. So they pulled it back in and drained it and refilled it to the proper 13 qts.
The oil that came out, had been in the engine had only been runing for less than 5 minutes. It was every bit at black as the oil I normally take out after 7500 miles. So there is apparently enough soot laying around in the oil pan etc that it immediately discolors new oil.
I now no longer worry about the color of the oil. It will always be black once it has passed thru the engine.

I guess I would if I had no other choice at the time, but like you, I'd watch them like a hawk!
