    hi,

    i just had my change oil last march. my car already ran more or less 1000 km. newly changed oil shows a golden color right? when in inspected it this morning, i noticed that it already lost its golden brown color. its like a little bit on the off-side of the golden brown, but not black or dark. i am using turbo xp oil that came from mitsu casa.

    does this mean anything on the performance of the engine? hindi ba parang masyado maaga para magbago agad kulay ng langis?

    normal lang yun.. thats the sign that your oil is cleaning your engine!

    +1. don't worry about it. just have your oil replaced at regular and recommended intervals.

    mas mahirap yung 4 na buwan na hindi pa din nagbabago color ng oil mo o slight color change lang.

    Would there be issues if i will be replacing my oil brand in my next oil change? i am planning on getting RP, but of course with the same viscosity as the turbo xp. or do i have to change viscosity?

    Hindi OMEN yan. Ibig sabihin niyan ay malinis ang loob ng makina mo wala pang gaanong tagas. Keep your regular maintenance para ma avoid ang costly repair.

    that's normal. oil not only as lubricant but detergent as well. change in color caused by mixture of burned fuel (soot) being scrapped down in the chamber during combustion

    Bro have you tried using engine flush? I think kaya madaling magdarken oil mo its because of carbon deposits at saka deposits ng wear and tear ng engine mo na di matangal sa engine mo during change oil..

    OT: question lang hindi ba masama kung gagamit ka ng engine flush during oil change? may nakapagsabi kasi sa kin na hindi daw advisable kung mag engine flush ka pa..

    you want oil that changes color. if it doesn't that means it's either not cleaning your engine or your engine is super clean pa.

    If the color of the oil is like a milkshake mas malaki yung problema mo, you have a blown head gasket if thats the case, kasi nag hahalo na ang tubig at langis nian. Pero pag ganyan lang no need to worry try mo change ibang brand ng oil the next time you've change oil.

oil color changes in a short period of time
