1000 miles on the car since it was changed. I had them replaced with synthetic. I don't typically check the oil right after it's changed, but I think I might have to now. I drive the car lightly. It's running perfectly fine. And my car has never turned my oil black this fast.

But so I'm not unjustly accusing the dealer, is there anything that would cause this in such a short period of time?

Mr. Ben

I wouldn't worry about it

and see if it tastes like synthetic...:-)

As Ben said, oil gets black fast..

jonchavez

alright then. I just don't remember it getting black this fast when I would check it.

be suspicious. If you can, change it again yourself. It's a relatively simple task and the investment is worth the peace of mind IMO.

Also my oil darkens up a bit but isn't black on the dipstick even after 5000 miles.

Like SparTTan said, it's not expensive and doesn't hurt to change it again if your bothered by it.

Also maybe when they changed the oil they were too lazy to change the filter

Hit it with a Pyroil treatment....otherwise you can have it power flushed next time.

So the sign says.. "Do not put your ***** in your mouth" .. of course the consensus of the people I play golf with was... "If we could do that we wouldn't need to play golf".

have been the same.

1000m is about 1/3 normal non-syn service. So monitor closely and see how it goes.
