I don't know if this is the correct place for this question but I'll post it anyway. Before I read about Flying Tiger, I bought a used smart and decided to take it for an oil change as I did not know when the previous owner had done this. So, I took it to a Mercedes dealer and paid just over $300 for a B service and a brake fluid flush. I decided to check the oil level a few days later as I had read that irreversible damage could be done to the engine if the oil level is too high. The oil was black and like syrup so I went back to the dealer and enquired about this. The technician said that this was normal for a diesel engine. Could you tell me if this is so. Thank you very much for your help.

It is true. Engine oil in diesel engines can get thick and black in a short order. Saying that. It may also be the previous owner neglecting service intervals. Collecting lots of gunk. It may take couple of oil change with some quality oil to clean things out.

Rate increased slightly as of January 1st, 2011. It has been for years since we last raised our price to match inflation.
