Engine Oil Colour Straight After Service

[mrsixstring]

Hi All - Diesel FR MKII, just had 20k service, driven 10 miles since. What colour would you guys expect engine oil colour to be on dip stick?

I was expecting a nice golden colour, but this is more like new stuff mixed with old (black but still transparent-ish).

Is this normal without an engine flush?

Hopefully just being paranoid...but given the reliance of decent oil on the Diesel FRs I wanna be safe!

It will be black again pretty much, and to the best of my knowledge is perfectly normal

Derv oil will be black by the time it reaches the sump while refilling!

Ok cheers guys, I'll stop panicking
