[QUOTE="mikie, post: 8621, member: 771"] its going to be hard to keep the oil looking like it does in our cars. theres a lot more going on in a diesel. the oil turns black due to a little blo by going by the rings. this is a natural thing. the standard we use at work is 250 hours on the oil and filter. try oil sampling the oil the firt couple times you change it. you can buy the bottle at your local dealer be it cat or bobcat. it is the best way to see whats going on in your engine without tearing into it. they can even alert you if they feel the oil was in the engine too many hours by the contaminant level. dont overlook your air cleaner also. it doesny take much dirt entry to do serious damage. check your hose clamp connections from the air cleaner to the engine. what i have seen is the customers with the best maintenance level has less overall problems. mikie [/QUOTE]
