Nooo.... in a diesel, blue smoke is still engine oil. Black smoke is unburned fuel (rich) or carbon deposits / soot burning out. White smoke can be either excess fuel (in some conditions, usually at cold start?) but is more often coolant. The black smoke in the video is from excess fuel, or put another way, not enough air, or not cold enough air (need some vehicle speed to get airflow through the intercooler).
