    We are the only creature exhuming our ancestors from their resting place and burning them in engines. I read a russian hypothesis, stating that after death only about 90% of the soul goes back to source, the dark side gets stuck in material form turning into demonic black goo programmable mater, absorbed by other living creatures and following the incarnation cycle for eternal punishment. It happened many times when i was asleep(after few beers) in my truck to hear knocking noises in my fuel tank , voices screaming begging for mercy stuck in my fuel filters, not to burn them; i keep the fuel cap open for awhile and watch them fly out like dark shadows. I keep a Bible in my truck and add some holy water additive.

    La Mancha Negra
    (The Black Stain) is a mysterious black substance that has oozed from roads in Caracas, Venezuela, first appearing in 1986.[1] Since the appearance of La Mancha Negra, it has caused multiple car accidents and claimed many lives.[2] After nearly two decades of study and millions of dollars spent to identify the substance and its source,[3] finding the cause has proven difficult and there are still no definitive explanations.

    No, I just ignore it. Truck runs fine, cups and injectors fine, oil fine, coolant fine, def,dpf and emmissions system running fine. I just keep a spare filter in the truck for just in case. When the filter reaches three quarters then I keep an eye on it to change it. Most of the time I just do it myself. Took the filter into the volvo shop here for them to take a look at it. They said it is black but since there are no problems with the truck it is ok to run.

    you mean conditioner. No you do not need it except anti gel in winter for volvo motors. Most of that stuff is useless. Volvo does not recommend it. As long as your truck i running ok with no soot build up etc i do not think you have much to worry about. But I am not a mechanic.
