Most of us have read the reason oil in diesel engines quickly turns dark / black is from soot .
I have also read the soot is abrasive . However graphite is sometimes used as a lubricant . Can some one please explain the difference ?
Also , is the soot to " fine " to be captured / trapped by the oil filter ?
Also , this is / may be applicable , to a much smaller degree in gasoline engines .
Thanks ,
