Back in the '70's the guy I worked for (who didn't even know how the hood release worked) asked me to change the oil in his Mercedes 250. Told me it was overdue. This made me not question the fact that the oil looked a little dark. My mistake for not asking how overdue...
I changed the oil and filter, and within 1000 miles the engine seized. The new oil filter was packed with carbon deposits and had gone into bypass. allowing the carbon to plug up every passage in the engine. A very costly mistake. When I finally asked him how overdue it was he told me he though it had been about 30,000 miles, but wasn't sure.
