Black oil doesn't mean anything mate - oil is designed to pick up particulates and carbon.

I have always suppled my own oil (manufacturer specced) when the dealer has serviced my cars.

As for Ford dealers - just like any other dealer service center - some are good, some are average, some are bad.

Yep, fully understand mate.

I'll stick with what I've done for the last 35 years

Has not yet put me wrong.

I listen to all opinions but only take on board what makes sense

So far, has been a good little car and still getting plenty of looks from other drivers - very few of them around still.
