Oil question..
Reached 7500miles and did the oil change.. took some oil after driving it 100 miles and it's like an old oil already? is this normal? I compared it to my leftover oil and is way too different in color!

It doesn't take long for oil to start to change color, especially if the old oil was pretty dark.

Oil color is not indicative of oil health or performance.
