Here's the deal. The other day I did an oil/filter change on a 2001 Kia Sophia. The customer always went to a name brand tire service center to have it done. He came to me because of a oil leak, very small by the way.
Anyhow, I took off the oil filler cap and looked into the valve cover and noticed everything was a dark red color.
Not knowing what type oil was used in the car, we decided to change the oil and filter. After draining the oil out, you know your hands always get covered with oil, the oil on my hand had a dark red tint to it.
Has anybody ever run into this and know what type of oil would cause this. I'm dying to know.
I wouldn't think that the customer or service center would have used synthetic. But who knows...
Thanks for any input.
