[QUOTE="Bob Horrell, post: 3824, member: 135"] Diesel engines produce soot which turns the oil black relatively quickly. This doesn't necessarily require an oil change. If you ever have oil analysis done you will find that the oil can be very black with soot and still be in an acceptable PPM level for soot. Some over the road truckers using synthetic oils and bypass filters go many tens of thousands of miles before an oil change and still have acceptable soot levels. I have found that 200 to 250hrs (or once a year) is acceptable for most applications. [/QUOTE]
