As you guys know I recently bought a new Ford Edge (2.0 eco-boost)and I finally have almost 1500 miles on it but the oil looks the same as it did when I bought it with a little over 400 miles.There's also none of the shiny metal shavings that I can see in the oil.
So I'm wondering if this is normal because it's a new car, or does it have more to do with the type of engine it is and that it's semi-synthetic oil?
I drive about 10 miles to work and then 10 back of course, plus around 5 or so for lunch Monday through Friday.
Now the tailpipe does have the black soot stains on it, but I read that's pretty normal for direct injection/turbo engines.
Okay, well any info would be appreciated.
