Hi all,

Got the day off so gave the car a little clean and checked over a few things (girlfriend is WELL happy! ).

First off, the oil is looking... a weird brown colour. It's consistant and not milky etc... just different.

Looked at the service and it stated that semi synthetic 10w/40 was used, this ok?

I even took a picture for ya'll;

It's probably all fine... but thought it worth asking

Looks more like skid marks.

Or are we supposed to now all see different faces of Jesus???? If so you can sell it on Flea-Bay....LOL.

Very awkward to see any colour of the oil when wiped onto a dirty cloth.

Haha, I tried it on a clean cloth and it looks more of a normal colour now.

Weird!

Ok, so I guess it just leaves the question is semi 10w40 cool?

Should be alright but I stepped mine upto fully synthetic Mobil 1 as the engine is working harder.

Looks fine to me Ethos.I use Castrol Edge fully synthetic oil since remap.

Its dead cheap for a change at National tyres.
