Oil colour immediately after service

wouldn't the speaker magnet " magnatize" the sump a little even after removal? see where I'm going?

If you really want to see how your oil is performing find someone to do a filtergram on your used oil and see how it comes up.

Clean oil as above doesn't = performance, every diesel I've had the pleasure of dropping the oil it comes out black as up a chimney. It's just what they do.

So after 5 1/2 years have we established that diesel oil goes black quickly after being changed and that it is normal?

Your right, I suppose the flakes will be stuck in the sump...

We don't jump to conclusions around here, mate.

Only if you drive it.

when I did my last oil change I flushed it with about a litre of oil first, stayed clean for a lot longer

Will clean the last dredges especially from the bottom of the sump.Warm it up to thin it so it flows through quickly. Pour it in as fast as you can. Sump plug back in slightly then remove.
Better and safer then an engine flush additive I think. Do it once it comes out black as, Again and its almost clean oil. Cheap, effective practice. I use any cheap oil to do this.
