Why does my Vauxhall Grandland's engine oil turn black quickly?

I've noticed that the engine oil in my Vauxhall Grandland turns black after just a few hundred miles of driving. Is this a cause for concern and should I be changing my oil more frequently?

This is completely normal for most modern engines. The oil is doing its job by trapping particles and keeping your engine clean.

However, if you notice a significant increase in the frequency of oil color changes, it may be a sign of engine trouble. Consider getting your engine checked by a certified mechanic.

To prolong the life of your oil, try using a high-quality synthetic oil and keep up with regular oil changes according to your vehicle's manual.
