    tanong ko lang kung bakit kaya ambilis mangitim ("darken") nung oil ng '96 LXi ko just had it changed sa Honda Shaw (casa) last May and nasa 2,500kms pa lang tinatakbo ko since then.

    just last month, medyo brownish pa kulay nya pero pag-check ko last weekend, maitim na. normal ba yun for Honda (OEM) engine oil?

    Tol , Kung mabilis mangitim iyong oem Honda motor oil mo ibig sabihin lang maganda ang detergent ingredient ng oil kaya magandang maglinis ng makina . Sundin mo lang iyong regular na change oil mo every 5,000 km wala kang magiging problema sa makina mo . Suggestion lang.

    hondas generally don't make the oil black.

    brown pa tas amoy gasolina (means you're overfueling a bit... try to adjust the idle speed).

    gold and your oil is still good.

    black means the oil could be oxidising too fast or your air filter needs replacing.

    10000km interval for FS oil
    5000km interval for regular oil

    You can't tell the condition of the oil from just the color. You'd need to have your oil professionally analyzed for that.

Honda OEM engine oil...mabilis ba talaga "mangitim"?
