[QUOTE="stephen, post: 49661, member: 120"] hehehe, u sure made me panic & went rite away from this laptop to check my car. Ran the engine to operating temperature & checked the dipstick. Ok, correct level. But the oil's colour is light brown. I forgot to check what colour it was b4 servicing. Well, i just change the engine oil at 41k kms at M-Speed after getting my car at 39k kms. Now at 48,600kms the oil wouldnt have de-graded so much isnt it? That oil change at 41k kms was much needed as it was black & full of sludge. 1st oil change per record was at 23k kms. So, imagine 16k kms & 1yr 2mths later @ 39k kms, the oil looked terribly dirty. And the sludge must still be around a little bit coz' the oil on the dipstick i checked just now had a a mix of shades of darker brown & light brown. Should i do an engine oil flush at next oil change? Wonder why AB didnt do that ... as it is changing oil at 25k kms or 1 year is ridiculously long. [/QUOTE]
