Up until 1 year ago I had been using Gasoline Engine type Oil in my Mercedes.
I have done 2 Rotella T regular 30wt Oil Changes and the Oil is always a lot blacker than when I used the 30wt Gasser Oil.

From what I have read extended Oil changes are most ofte done with synthetic Oil. Or, regardless of the Oil used; by folks who have installed a low micron by-pass Oil Filter system.
