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 |

BOUNTYDOG: Drain when engine is very hot, I use total filling stations n there is this air pressure they blow inside engine to clean all d old oil b4 putting a new oil guess dt helps.

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 |
Re: Does A Dark Engine Oil Means A Car Is Due For Service??? by Nobody: 3:17pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
nurey:What is the warm approach? And how much is MRS 5W30 |
Re: Does A Dark Engine Oil Means A Car Is Due For Service??? by nurey(m): 3:37pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
NgcoboP: you let the car warm for 2 to 3 minutes or when the temp guage Gbera then shut engine off and drain. MRS is 5w40 no 5w30 and its full synthetic sold for 12k to 13500 depending on how close the station is to their berkley office at obalende |

Re: Does A Dark Engine Oil Means A Car Is Due For Service??? by nurey(m): 9:31pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
NgcoboP: I don't need or use account number I have a vault buried somewhere in a cementary that's where I keep my money. Just enter any MRS fuelling station and ask for full synthetic, they have a 10W40, if you become too friendly with those sales girls with succulent water melons they will do magic and swap it with the 5W40 cheating you. |
Re: Does A Dark Engine Oil Means A Car Is Due For Service??? by Nobody: 9:33pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
nurey:Is the 10w40 fully synthetic |
