Another thing wreckingball is that oil is blacker than sin and nasty looking and the new oil you install is going to be just as nasty in just a few miles no matter what brand you use. That is just a diesel trait.

yeah you would have to do a fluch and fill to get it all out and even then there is still something lurking somewhere to mess up the pretty gold color!!! The diesels hold more oil in odd places than small cars have in their whole system!
