Dirty oil after 900 miles
Hi all, I tried to search for any previous thread regarding my question but couldn't find anything.
This is probably a very general question or maybe a "depends" question:
I got my oil changed less than 900 miles ago and the oil is very dirty. It's a very dark brown and I even remember checking it at about 700 miles and it was pretty much the same -- very very dark brown.
It's lost probably about a pint since the oil change. The engine has 113,300 miles on it and it smokes on a cold start up but only for about 10 seconds; it doesn't smoke while idling/running.
As always, thanks.
