Oil colour...

...on my Mondeo 2.0L ecoboost, 3700 miles after its first service oil change (so the garage says ::)) looks like a diesel. They claim they used 5-20W full fat, presumably (or possibly) Castrol. If anyone with experience of this engine can confirm this is to be expected with this type of oil, I will be amazed, if not particularly pleased. In any case, prior to a 1000 mile trip, I've replaced the oil, and will be examining it closely.  :-\ :-\ :-\

Shackeng:
Bump. I now know they used Titan oil 5-20 full fat.

Auto Addict:
It's a Ford :D

Shackeng:
Well spotted. :P

Perhaps I should have made myself clearer (unlike the oil) in my OP. The 5w-20 fully synthetic Titan oil was almost black after 3700 miles. Is this normal ? >:( >:( >:(
I have never used full fat oil before and have  no experience of it. :-\

biggriffin:
Diesel oil, becomes black very quickly due to the soot, and particulates.
