Question

I recently had my Peugeot 407 SW serviced and on checking the oil after the service it was still black, on challenging the dealer I was told that "this is normal" if the engine has not been flushed prior to service on a diesel, is this true?

Answer

Amazingly, this is correct. The flush would have made a little difference but black, at Peugeot at least, is the new golden.
