Black is an understatement. If you saw the picture you wouldn't believe it was that color after returning from an oil change.
All the diesel cars I've owned were under factory warranty. If I keep the one I have long term I will certainly try the oil flush with cheap oil idea I suggested to see if it actually does work.
I'll see what the oil in my Outlander looks like tomorrow. Was changed on Monday and have probably done 100km. Will probably be pitch black as well.

Yes, I'm sure it will be black. Absolutely normal for a diesel engine. There's no point trying to flush the engine, as the oil is holding the soot in suspension so that the engine stays clean.
