I know you can't judge diesel oil by its colour but for me it's v hard when your previous LPG car never visually fouled its oil
When you pull out the dipstick, just feel the oil between your fingers, if you can feel the grit, then it's definitely time for an oil change, at least in the engines I maintain. The colour of the oil means nothing, the oil can get black as soon as you start up after the oil change.
Using engine flush before you change the oil helps with that and it also helps the DPF if your car has one.

If I could feel grit it would be far too late even as a trade-in.

What product do you use for engine flush? Does it need to be diesel specific?
