This is a question regarding the 2.0L Ecoboost engine. Is it the characteristic of a turbocharged vehicle to have the oil turn extremely black so early on? At about 5,000 miles city driving, my oil is basically all black. I had the oil changed before with Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic and the mechanic threw in an aftermarket oil filter (This was not done at the dealership).
I am wondering if this is just normal and should i get it changed even though the oil life monitoring doesn't tell me to change it or could it be that the oil filter is not filtering things properly?
