Oil check/change at fiesta first service?

I drain both our diesels with the sump nut, put a new filter on, the oil is black by the time it's got from the filler to the dipstick, yet alone after actually running the engine.

When you visit a garage, ask how they remove the old oil, when they start telling you the virtues of this suction machine, just stop and ask them what the sump plug is for and why it is magnetic and should be taken out and have the particles removed from the magnet.

For some people reading that doesn't apply to all cars.

Mercedes for example specify the suction method but the cars are built to facilitate that. Not all sump nuts are magnetic.
