Hi Everyone. Black oil means that it is holding contaminants in suspension. It's what they are formulated to do. Think of it as a good-ish thing.

Has this engine had the intake off of it? You might find some ghastly stuff in there which would explain things.

I second the oil analysis. It costs less than a meal out, in these times.
