My mistake - the writer said he had recently changed the oil ... after
1000 miles something else besides dirty oil is going on...
as in "I have about 1k on the recent oil fill in Frosch. Oil is black
as night and nasty. Granted, I used rotella 20-50,... "
But it was just a suggestion - "

An oil analysis will tell you what metals are in the oil, if there is fuel
or coolant, the viscosity range (for your kits), oxidation and nitration
levels, soot, and TBN(for some kits). Seems like a waste to tell you what
you already know - the oil is dirty, change it.

A Oil Analysis would cost less than one of those Oil Changes and tell you
much. much more.... Send me a note and I'll email a sample of the Report
you would get for around $20.

It smells like worn out oil. Sad that it should after so few miles or
time. Not burned, just used. Like M1 after 6k miles in a 220D. No water
in the oil, not whipped up or foamy, no excessive gritty feel to it when
rubbed between fingers. It is like an oil vampire sucked all the additives
out of it and left anemic oil behind

Does the old oil smell like gasoline?

Swapped it out with castrol 15-50. New oil is less prone to being so
low pressure. Got seafoam to put in when I get ready for another change.

Use Rotella T 15w40 diesel or another diesel-grade oil that will
suspend the nasties and sludge and get it out of the engine. You could also
put in a litre of Rislone to clear up the sludge.

should not be the diesel sooting up of oil.
What is the group consensus on early change of oil? Should I just go
ahead and toss in fresh oil and filter, or wait another few
thousand? Oil
pressure at idle is near nil, but at speed, I have great pressure.
