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?

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.

here in romania , were i live , happens all the time at the dealers ,
they say they made the service at 50k km...but in reality they didn't changed nothing ( happend to a friend of mine, discovered when it had 65k , for the next service)
that 's why i alwways stay near them when they make changes for my car , i don 't trust them , even if they are dealers /mb etc
