Many have stated on this board that oil color doesn't matter - that oil that has turned black is just doing its job and is not an indicator of oil wear. I accept this to a point. However, turning this around, I wonder if anyone has had an experience where the oil has NOT changed color but it was found to have degraded / worn-out?
I switched from Dino to M1 last Spring and am on my second batch of M1 in 2 cars, the first batch was a short OCI. I observe after 5 months of mostly in-town driving that the oil on the dipstick is still clean! Is this reliable evidence that the oil is still good?
Thanks for your comments!
