2aces: A fake or sub standard oil might go black fast, To know whether ur oil is over due, just dip ur hand n feel the oil between ur thumb n ur index finger...... if it's due, it will be black and also have impurities/residues within it. |

ogawisdom: One way I have been practicing to get the best from oil getting black shortly after service is to drain @ night after parking the car when it is hot and allow it drain thru the night gets rid of all old oil before I pour new oil the following day. I.have observed this process make the oil retain it's color far longer than when I drive the car to a mechanic for service This is applicable to.DIY savy other wise get ur mechanic service ur car in the morning before u start it for that day. Draining when hot through the night will also safe the engine from.sludge build up 3 Likes |

2aces: It is not my Oil. It is Genuine Toyota Motor Oil. Depends on how far and how hard you drive. Most people use it for not less than 6 months, some up to 9 months. Take your pick |

quentin06:If you put engine oil in yoyr car and run it for one hour it will turn black . If you put engine oil on one metal amd rub another metal on top it will go black . Reason friction caused by mega heat and lost particles . No one can eliminate this fru liquid lub the only way round this is air lub . Or magnetism.. PS what do you mean by SAE 40? |

erico2k2: No I Change Oil Every 3 Months It Cant Go Black In One Hour Unless You Ve Been Topping Oil Alone. Theres A Big Difference Between Topping Engine Oil And Changing It. SAE 40 is for diesel engines. |

2aces: I use this oil for at least 8 months. I think this is one of the best engine oils in the market now. No shorting and I really like how the engine becomes silent after use. Very soothing on the engine. I give it 5 stars ***** |

My oil does not turn black at anytime from the guage highest is dark golden colour. After a week the colour of my engine oil is still golden like i just poured it into the engine. though i used the warm approach of engine i said warm not hot to drain before i refilled. oil is MRS full synthetic 5W40 shorts at the 4th month (i normally use 3.5L first then top up with 1 litre at 5th month and the remaining 0.5L at the 6th month) but the 5litres gets me through 6months or 8000km which ever comes first |
