I have just purchased a one-year-old Focus 1.6 TDCi.  I was assured it had
had an oil change, but on checking the dipstick, I noticed that the oil was
black. I have been told by the dealer that this is normal with diesels; can
anyone comment on this?

Regards and thanks in advance

I'd agree with the dealer.

 You're probably right, but since the buyer will never know for sure, the
cost of an oil change now offers a lot of peace of mind for a tiny
incremental increase above the price just paid for the vehicle.

Agreed.

But if the word of the dealer is not to be trusted...

Depends on whether it was the SALES department or the SERVICE
department. :-)
