Hi all, just after a bit of advice if you don't mind.
Took car in yesterday for a service (Just to keep book stamped as its less than 3 years old), and I really have a feeling that they haven't done it. Car is a 2.4 diesel, and it was it's first (2 year!!!) oil change (Although I did get a friend to do it last year as I like to change it at least yearly). As I have had a problem with this garage before, when I picked it up I checked the oil and it was as black as black. I know oil in a diesel engine goes black within a few miles (50+) , but they are insistent on it going this colour within 5 miles (Car Speedo shows they did 4) of a 'road test'. Spoke to shop Manager who insists the mechanic would not lie. I can't check oil filter as it is one of these new paper jobbies and is hidden under plastic which I cant access. I'm just not convinced as other jobs appear to have been done hastily which I also pointed out. Any views / opinions / ideas?. I don't fancy changing the oil again 'just in case' as it requires an expensive oil (6 litres) and I feel I shouldn't have to. (Would cost me £50) On the other hand it's a lovely engine and I don't want to cause it any unnecessary damage.
Thanks for any input.
