Hello guys,
Previous Fills:
Exxon Mobil dino oil 5w30 w Auto Rx - 99,000 to 102,000 miles approx
Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 - 102,000 to 105,000 miles
Current Fill Information:
Mobil 1 10w30 Extended Performance.
Mobil 1 Oil Filter.
4 to 6 ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil
2100 miles on oil. 4 months in crankcase.
Car:
1998 Honda CRV EX AWD. 4 cylinder.
107,000+ miles.
Air Filer changed less than a year ago.
Oil Change Maintenance History: Every 3,000 to 3,500 miles on dino oil
Why is my oil so dark after 2000 miles? Does it need to be changed after only 2000 miles?
This car is mainly street driven every day. 5 miles to work of stop and go driving. It does get out on the freeway about 2 to 3 times a month with 40 mile runs. I really wanted to go 10,000 miles with this current fill but I am hesitating because of the color of the dipstick. This current sample is taken in the morning after the car has sat overnight and before it started.
