As mentioned in my last post though, I always notice a difference in the turbo response of a diesel on clean oil. The Golf's not shabby in this area anyway, but it's definitely perkier on light accelerator inputs than it was this time yesterday.
Funnily enough i helped my lad to service his Scooby RA about a month ago, probably done 3 or 4K on the oil, Millers 10W60 fully synthetic he uses all the time in it and jolly expensive too.
He found it much improved in response too, much more eager to take off instantly.
On the subject of filthy oil in Diesels, the family owned BMW and Seat PD (now gone) both had black oil instantly after change, i can only think the Toyota pick up must have good drainage or exceptionally clean combustion, when it's done 60K i daresay it'll be just as bad as the others.
The petrol Scooby blackens it's oil quickly too, hardly surprising the torture the poor thing gets..;)
