My dad had a Navara D22 (3L TD) 2004 mod with 140,000 km.
It is serviced every 5000km (professionally) as per service book and he tows a 2.2 ton van.

The oil color when dropped from the sump is clean, not black as you would expect - as if it has only just been changed.

The mechanic does not know why. Has anybody else had this happen on their vehicle?

Could this indicate a potential problem?? EG oil not picking up the rubbish?

or is this just good news?

Thanks

Marco
