Oil change

Hello, I had an oil and oil filter change by the dealer. When arriving at home, after 2 miles, I checked the oil. Black black. Had also an oil change on our Audi. Checked level at home, after 4 miles. Both are turbo diesels but the oil of the Audi looked still a bit transparent. First time I went to that Mercedes dealer. Did they change the oil?

I can't believe what I am reading! Even Jiffy Lube does not do this. I would go back and demand to see the service mgr and tell him what happened. Also obviously they did not change the filter either. If they don't step up, you should contact MB about this. This is serious stuff! I would never bring the car to this dealer again for any service!

PS: They will make up a story like there was a mistake and thought the oil was changed. The truth is when a tech finished the job, he will sign off the job done.
