Also note that the 'oil dipstick' oil normally will look blacker and dirtier than any oil you can remember seeing on a dipstick (unless just changed)
EVEN IF just changed... I don't know what it is about diesels, but you do a complete oil change, check the dip-stick, and it's already black, you don't even need to turn over the engine... (my Delica, and my previous Mercedes are both this way, and I'm told that's normal)
