[AT] Black oil after 8hrs in new engine

[rlgoss at twc.com]

And you waid it has an oil filter? On modern engines, that typically means you can use multi-viscosity oil rather than single weight because you have a pressurized system.  I suspect there is more to this story.

for straight 30-weight, nothing special.  If it had synthetic, am I supposed 
to use just synthetic?

Thanks

Are you sure it wasn't synthetic?  Some of that starts out that color.

blacker than any oil I have ever seen.  I checked the air filter and other
than some dust, it looked fine.  Although they don’t call for an oil filter
change, I replaced it as well.

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks
