Dropped my oil today and it came out looking burnt? Only been 5000kms since last service. What would cause it to do that? Could it be the engine not liking the oil that my mechanic put in?

Im putting penrite 10w40 everyday full syn in after i change my rocker cover gasket.

Oil


Cheers

What are you talking about burnt? You do know that if clean oil comes out it isnt doing its job, ie cleaning the soot and crap out of the engine.

Some oils have high detergent rates that are designed to clean. I always laugh when people comment on how "clean" their engine oil is after xxx kms. It should and will always turn dark.

after 5000kms mines about as dark as what yours looks when wiping the dipstick on a white paper towel... put an engine oil flush in it before dumping & changing the oil & filter & it comes out as black as the ace of spades.

When I put the diesel oil in mine it turned black after about 100kms.

A detox diet for your engine, like eating a lot of fibre

Oil looks fine to me too.

Cheers guys, when I dropped it, it smelt like it was burnt. Yeah was expecting it to be a bit clearer.
