Just got my 10k service on my 2010 Golf TDI. This involved an oil change, a reflash on the ECM and something to do with re-securing the vents in the passenger's footwell. I drove 8 miles to warm up the engine and then checked the oil level. To my surprise, the oil was black - not a deep dark black, but more of a grey color - clear with black in it.
I have been changing my own oil on gasoline cars for 30 years and am used to seeing clear, amber colored oil after a change. I brought it to the dealer and they said this was normal for diesels. What gives. Did they forget to change it or am I just paranoid?
