they should pin this thread at the top. someone asks this question about every 10 days on here. nothing wrong with that though. it would just save starting new threads.
so the dirtier oil doesnt wear these engines out sooner?
dads older Ford stays really clean. we've always changed it at 5000kms though. thats not very many miles

Not true. My previous truck a 2000 3500 Cummins would run for 4000 miles before the oil started to turn dark. Up until then, you could see right thru it on the dip stick.
My 06 as stated, turns black right after the oil change at start up. Dodge and Cummins talk about dusting the engine, they should consider what's going on in the pan and the accumalation of soot and carbon.
If the 3rd injection event (EGR) is causing the problem, and the rings are not holding it, allowing soot and carbon to enter the pan, they have a problem with the rings and wear, as far as I'm concerned. This may cause compression problems down the road.
