December 4th, 2020 10:13 AM #6286Just based on the photo and what we do with our cars, that color is normal. Mas maitim pa yung sa ibang diesel namin na.
From my layman's perspective before fearing I need to head to casa/dealer or DIY change oil.
1) yung oil, di dapat sobra labnaw lang. Only once ko lang naexperience yun sa Xtrail na pag check ko ng dipstick akala mo tubig yung asa loob kasi tumutulo na talaga from the dipstick. Motech yung nagchange oil nun ng Semi-Synthetic ata before sa kuya ko. More than 6 mos when we checked the dipstick kaya nagulat lang ako na parang tubig yung labnaw. Never ko naexperience yun sa ibang oil. Not sure if because of the Semi-Synthetic blends kung ganun ba talaga pero pinapalitan na lang namin. Literal na tutulo na lang yung "oil" pag labas ng dipstick. No "beading time" muna for the oil to collect at the end of the dipstick. Kaya medyo alangan ako sa Motech na oil (di ko alam brand kasi di nakasulat sa resibo nila nung chineck namin yung resibo)
2) texture, if really coarse or only "fine" particles lang maramdaman mo sa oil mo when you rub it against your fingers. If really coarse meaning marami na suspended particles in the oil din. So ibig sabihin not necessarily because it is black/dark in color meaning need na palit. Kasi kung very fine particles lang naman, meaning they are small enough to get through the oil filter. pero pag coarse na feeling, meaning kahit yung filter di na nasasalo or filter out yung "debris", so to speak.
Re running a diesel with engine oil for more than 1 year with FS dahil di mo pa naabot yung 10k kms mileage. Madalas nangyari ito sa Montero namin and what we have done is actually on the 5k mark, top up lang and safe pa din. Then close to the 10k mark tsaka change oil. Para di sayang yung langis. Up to now, no engine trouble naman yung 2011 Montero.
Also currently running my Sylphy with FS Oil from Nissan. Last change oil was July 2019. Ang ginawa ko lang nung October 2020 was top up 1 liter of FS oil kasi may "space" na to top up. Di naman coarse yung oil, engine runs fine before I did the top up din. Have only done 6k kms with the car from the previous change oil.
But of course, your mileage may vary. Di kasi madalas naiipit sa rush hour traffic both vehicle. So engine idling time I would say is similar to Mixed Driving Conditions usually for both. If usually stuck in bumper to bumper with heavy idling time, iba usapan na.

Before New Year, I had a change oil done on my 2018 Sportage. I wanted to try this oil, Cyclon TDI 5w-40 in preparation for summer. The previous oil I used was Kixx PAO 5w-30. I took the car for a trip down South where I spent my New Year. Off the bat, I’d say the car felt smooth running & acceleration. On paper, the the specs & certifications look good enough to try, as I am not restricting myself to commonly used lubes.
