The same thing that makes ALL engine oil black. -Engines, especially jet engines have many finely engineered metal surfaces rotating against each other. -All that is between those speedily turning and tight fitting surfaces is engine oil ! -Friction is inevitable - so high oil pressure or oil with polymers is very necessary. In many parts of your engine, minute particles are burnt and carried away rapidly by the oil, - some is caught in the filter - some is invariably too small and so mixes with the oil and turns it black. -This is why we do frequent oil and filter changes.
engine burning oil
blue smoke is oil. white smoke is water. black smoke is unburnt fuel
the engine is burning oil. blue smoke oil white smoke antifreeze black smoke excess fuel
Oil contains detergents that clean your engine and suspend soot, deposits, & dirt in the oil. The air and oil filters remove most of the larger particles but some get in the engine and stay suspended in the oil which causes it to turn black. Oil is not only a lubricant and helps cool the engine, but it also keeps the engine clean.
oil
bad rings or really bad valve seals.
3:1 extra oil is good for engine
An oil leak.
overfilled engine oil
Bad piston rings. Get new engine.
this is usually engine coolant leaking in
engine oil turns black when oil mixes with the carbon from normal combustion inside the engine. this process eventually changes the viscosity of the oil and keeps it from flowing through and lubricating the motor properly.
