Engine turning oil black

[Lincsman]

Newer engines seem worse for it. Have an N14 cummins at work that even after 200hrs the engine oil is only just changing colour and still has a gold tinge to it where as 7530 deeres day after its serviced oils black.

EGR.

Flush it if your worried about it but it'll still go black.

Reduce the service intervals? I never liked these long drain stuff anyway, my new van is 25k miles I think or 2 years but it'll be getting done once a year at around 8k miles.

Who’s going to want a 100k mile used van that’s only had 4 oil changes

You can buy tractors without one.

I thought you can just pay a man to remove and delete EGRs on JDs these days?

Probably, but will you get sued for global warming in the future?... might be better to buy a new one without.

EGRs don't stop global warming. They reduce NOx emissions so it is more an air quality type thing. Same as a DPF.

Best to have a pipe going from his ass into the bag for a fully functioning recirculation system.....you know, for the environment.

Is it a Ford? Off topic of course.. It's funny because Ford warranty stipulates you *have* to have this "interim check" done on years 1 and 3 (proper service every 2 years as you say), and they charge you £129.99 for the pleasure of walking around your van. Guy in the service center got right arsey when I told him No thanks I'll take it down to my local garage and have a proper service done for the same cost.

I believe the Ford Euro 6 is actually 2 years or 30k miles.

No its a MAN TGE, (VW crafter) it may be 30k miles i cant remember, its excessive anyway. you can service it where you like, so long a genuine parts and approved oil used it dont matter.

Is not the number of oil changes per 100,000 miles taken into consideration when working out total emissions?
